"Stopping a piece of work just because it's hard is a bad idea. Sometimes you have to go on when you don't feel like it and sometimes you're doing good work when it feels like all you're managing to do is shovel shit from a sitting position."
I don't allow myself to get "blocked." I make sure I write something, anything, even if it's not at the same place in my story as I left off. I try a different scene.(less)

Jeremy’s Quotes

“The thing about a story is that you dream it as you tell it, hoping that others might then dream along with you, and in this way memory and imagination and language combine to make spirits in the head. There is the illusion of aliveness.”
― Tim O'Brien, The Things They Carried

“I’m in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection. But with Montana it is love. And it’s difficult to analyze love when you’re in it.”
― John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America
