“You know your heart and soul are stapled to that manuscript, but what we see are the words on the paper”
“Be aware that every word you know is going to try to sneak into your manuscript.”
“Future is a meaningless word if you don’t give your heart and soul to your dreams. What happens to us is never etched in stone, but determined by what we want to happen… Death is inevitable, but life is what we can avoid, if we so choose.”
“We loved all the words in your manuscript, but we were wondering if you could maybe put them in a completely different order." Dave Coverly”
“The paper, the stapler, the staples, the tape. It makes me sick. Physical things. Forty years of loving someone becomes staples and tape.”
“The paper landed on the table, but the news was stapled to his chest. A tattoo.”
