Musings

The fascinating thing about writing is that it becomes a measure of how cleanly you can reflect humanity back on itself. ย The authorโ€™s job is not to adhere to some staid routine or concept of โ€œwhatโ€™s right,โ€ or โ€œproper,โ€ but to lift the spirit, light up the soul, and reiterate old archetypes and tropes so that they enter humanityโ€™s collective heart and replenish it with fresh novelty. ย 

In the end, it is about digging deeper within yourself than what society might expect, and distributing those rough treasures that you’ve polished with nothing but your mind.
