Breathe, find something you haven't done in awhile and do it. Whether it be watching something, doing some sewing/knitting, reading, etc. Your mind will eventually notice you haven't written anything in awhile and your inspiration will return.(less)

I love writing because I have full control of world-building, character development, and plot structure. Being a writer helps me get through difficult times in life. I honestly have no idea what I would be if I wasn't a writer.(less)

Misconception of “Enjoy Being Alone”

This is what happens, when you force yourself to write this before you go insane and can’t sleep.

My body feels numb and I forget myself again. Forget that there are people with feelings too. When you shut everyone, you know because you don’t want them to see your emotional side. The weak side as you call it. Then people resume you don’t mind being alone. Or they ask you on advice on how to enjoy

Quotes by Sunshine Cunningham  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“She lifted my head up with her woundless hands and smiled. Her smile could make the day last a lifetime. I wanted to kiss her. She placed her hand on my heart. I tried to pull her close to me but I knew my life was coming to an end. It would be meaningless. Why would anyone care for a monster that I am?”
Sunny Houk, Mortified

“Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something. That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo… and it’s worth fighting for.”
JRR Tolkein

“If most of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

“For the less even as for the greater there is some deed that he may accomplish but once only; and in that deed his heart shall rest.”
Tolkein Feanor

“We have come from God, and inevitably the myths woven by us, though they contain error, will also reflect a splintered fragment of the true light, the eternal truth that is with God. Indeed only by myth-making, only by becoming 'sub-creator' and inventing stories, can Man aspire to the state of perfection that he knew before the Fall. Our myths may be misguided, but they steer however shakily towards the true harbour, while materialistic 'progress' leads only to a yawning abyss and the Iron Crown of the power of evil.”
J.R.R. Tolkien

“Home is behind, the world ahead,
and there are many paths to tread
through shadows to the edge of night,
until the stars are all alight.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
