Book cover for Everybody's Favorite Guy
What was it about watching him perform the intensely ordinary act of matching up the two ends of the metal zipper and then pulling the tab up that felt so intimate? People zipped themselves up every day. This was not anything special. And ...more

Abby Jimenez
“The tall white guy in the Carhartt jacket lives in his mom’s basement,” he said, going on. The sandy blond man was grinning in our direction and waving. “In about five minutes he’s going to procure a guitar from somewhere.” He looked at me. “He’s going to play ‘More Than Words’ by Extreme and he’s going to do it very, very badly.”
Abby Jimenez, Part of Your World

Alice Robb
“Whether story-like or absurd, whether obviously relevant or not, dreams remind artists that, even when they feel blocked, the ability to create fictional worlds still resides within them.”
Alice Robb, Why We Dream: The Transformative Power of Our Nightly Journey

“That’s the odd thing about depression and anxiety. It acts like an intense fear of happiness, even as you yourself consciously want that happiness more than anything. So if it catches you smiling, even fake smiling, then—well, that stuff’s just not allowed and you know it, so here comes ten tons of counterbalance.”

Kristin Canary

She’s the encourager, the cheerleader, the truth teller.” Now the words are rolling off my tongue. “She sees things in him that no one else sees, and it’s she alone who can help him see that he’s been believing a lie all this time. Because when she looks at him, she doesn’t see a failure. She sees a man who is worthy of love—a man who is good simply because he is himself.”
Kristin Canary, Loving the Ladies' Man
