Favorite Quote:
To sum it all up, if you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling. You must write every single day of your life. You must write dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next. You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfume and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads. I wish for you a wrestling match with your Creative Muse that will last a lifetime. I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories—science fiction or otherwise. Which means, may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.”
–Ray Bradbury


Wherever the wind blows
Keep out of sight
Don’t turn around
Run with all your might

Wherever the wind blows
It will be on the hunt
It will be sharpening
the blade that was once blunt

Wherever the wind blows
stay one step ahead
For never look
at what’s beneath the bed

Wherever the wind blows
Never face the monster
deep in the shadows
that we ourselves conjure

This is about how society is telling us to run from our fears instead of facing them.
