I have always wished to put out a work that I was really proud of, and this pandemic helped me understand my priorities as an artist. Then, it was settled. Whether the book would fail or not, I had to do it to prove that I could do it.(less)

Then …moreI had a terrible writing's block for about 3 years and it was awfully painful because I wanted to write but I just could not reach out to words. Then I realised, I was writing for an audience. For their satisfaction and feelings, not mine. I had to tell myself that my writing has to be personal, something that I should be enjoying. This change of perspective really helped me because before, I was thinking about that perfect intro or perfect depiction. Now, I write with the relief that I can always go back and work on it and as long as it pleases me, it is enough.(less)

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

“I don’t have the strength in me to let you go. I can’t control it. I would rip my heart off its birdcage and hand it over to you if it meant we could stay like this forever. How can I ever let you go, my dear Valerie, the heart of my soul, when you have given me the world?”
Dion Anja, Vertigo Peaks

“How could she ever describe this tantalizing, fearless hope of knowing someone for the first time and falling in love with them? For this was love, surely, not in the shape of a lover, but shooting forth unexpectedly like grass among the cracked stones. It was a healing balm that Valerie needed all these months, passing in a blur of hurt. It was a beloved soul who sought her because she knew she was made alike with the desperate desire to belong. To somewhere, to someone.”
Dion Anja, Vertigo Peaks

“You made me in your image. You carved me and breathed me into life. Where you ache, I tremble in agony. I never had to see where I stood because I was with you, hand in hand, heart against heart, and I am replenished by the same thing that brought you to me.”
Dion Anja, Vertigo Peaks
