A lot of it has to do with finding breathing space and doing things that will kick start my brain. So see a movie, read a good book, hang out with friends. Then after a few days sit back down to the keyboard and accept what comes even if it is terrible. The worst thing you can do is to not write at all. (less)

“We need so much less than we take. We owe so much more than we give.”—From “Homesick: A Plea for our Planet” in You Better Be Lightning by Andrea Gibson

“forehead understood—was that the misery of war represented the world’s only truly universal language. Its native speakers occupied different ends of the world, and the prayers they recited were not the same and the empty superstitions to which they clung so dearly were not the same—and yet they were. War broke them the same way, made them scared and angry and vengeful the same way. In times of peace and good fortune they were nothing alike, but stripped of these things they were kin. The universal slogan of war, she’d learned, was simple: If it had been you, you’d have done no different.”
Omar El Akkad, American War
