“Being made to feel that I was inadequate, erroneous, the little queer who needed to be tucked away while being celebrated for repudiating myself was a slippery slope I’d been sliding down since before I could remember. And like a film stuck to my skin, I couldn’t wash it off. The compulsion to tear apart my flesh, a sort of scolding—I became as repulsed as them.”
― Elliot Page, Pageboy: A Memoir

“There’s no truth to these pages, but the trick of fiction is to make you think there is. I let myself fall for it as often as I can.”
― Emily Wibberley, The Roughest Draft

“In an ideal world, I sit you down and tell you how I feel. as I ramble on with discomfort, you lift my chin and kiss me. we make out like lovers, for longer than we probably should. we don’t talk about the future, as we embrace the here and now. but all of this is just a beautiful fantasy.”

“We’ve written the rough draft of our love together, the draft with loose ends, unfinished edges, mistakes every other page. But every writer knows there’s magic in revision, where your work changes from a manuscript into a book. Where intentions, emotions, missed connections coalesce into something complete. It’s where what you mean to say becomes what you have said. The characters deepen, the details shine, the prose sparkles. Suddenly, from nothing, you find your story.”
