"Talent is helpful in writing, but guts are absolutely essential." --a quote by Jessamyn West

"Being a real writer means being able to do the work on a bad day."--a quote by Norman Mailer
First lines. You find them everywhere: in fiction, nonfiction, poetry, movies, plays, songs, in the voices of people you know well, and those you don’t. In this blog, you’ll find a compilation of captivating lines, sentences, random thoughts, and quotes from every part of life. Some of these lines will lead to other observations, which I’ll elaborate on through small, eruptive tantrums or tangled, poetic musings; it all depends on what I read, what I imagine, what I hear, what comes to life. So be careful what you say out there, distant followers. You never know. I could be listening to you.
