“All along, I thought I was protecting the kids. Shielding them from realities behind closed doors. Sacrificing to maintain a two-parent Christian home. Making hard, better choices for their faith, family, and education than I made for myself, trying to safeguard them from pain.
But they saw. That was obvious now. And staying meant raising sons who hit women. Staying meant raising a daughter who stayed with the man who hit her. And that would be my fault. I'd be the one who taught them life like this was okay. I didn't just let erratic violence continue happening---I helped by refusing to leave. Good mothers don't let this happen to their kids.”
Tia Levings, A Well-Trained Wife: My Escape from Christian Patriarchy

“Any piece of writing is a time capsule. It reflects the choices—and the abilities, and the limitations—of the writer we are at the time.”
Maggie Smith, Dear Writer: Pep Talks and Practical Advice for the Creative Life

“Commit to doing at least one thing in service of your writing every day.”
Maggie Smith, Dear Writer: Pep Talks and Practical Advice for the Creative Life

Andrzej Sapkowski
“Should you, in the next few years, wish to write to me, do not hesitate for a moment. Your letters invariably give me boundless pleasure.
Your friend Yennefer
The letter smelled of lilac and gooseberries.
Geralt cursed.”
Andrzej Sapkowski, Blood of Elves

“Creativity isn't just about making art. Making your life is the ultimate creative act. I believe creativity is contagious, and when we put some of that into the world, it gets passed from person to person… I hope you're here because you know that embracing creativity will help you live a richer, more fulfilling, more connected life.”
Maggie Smith, Dear Writer: Pep Talks and Practical Advice for the Creative Life
