Maybe it's because my writing time is so limited with daughters to raise, a husband and two dogs, but to me, every moment that I can write should be productive. That doesn't mean I won't write a horrible few pages and delete them. But usually, there'll be a grain in there of something I can expand on. And those grains add up! Before you know it, you have a chapter or a short story or an essay. Perhaps the real reason I don't allow myself to have writer's block, is because I do allow myself to write the worst, most horrible pages ever written, until somehow, magically, things fall together.(less)

Quotes by Jennifer Gooch Hummer  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Love doesn't always mean rings and veils and walks down the aisle.
Sometimes love means broken windows and broken hearts,
and not being able to fix either.
And sometimes love means telling you,
there's no such thing as time in Heaven so don't rush to meet me.
Stay a while, and pick, girl, the roses.”
Jennifer Gooch Hummer, Girl Unmoored

“Love. The opposite of fear is love, and every minute of every day, we choose between the two.”
Jennifer Gooch Hummer, Girl Unmoored

“Sometimes things get broken and people make mistakes. It's just what happens. And then, if you're lucky, they get fixed again, before it's too late.”
Jennifer Gooch Hummer, Girl Unmoored

“Sometimes when she saw dads and daughters, she watched them like they were from another planet.”

“She found the address on NYCityMap and took a screenshot of it, then sent it to her mother with a note: if murdered, look here. Her mother wouldn’t check her phone until after work, and by then Veri would be home. Or murdered.”
