“A story … has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you.”

I love this from the Resistance article:
ReplyDelete"So the next time you hear that self-loathing voice in your head, remember two things:
One, that voice is not you. It’s not your thoughts. It’s Resistance.
And two, it’s a good sign because it tells you there is a powerful, original Dream close by.
The answer? Identify that dream and act to bring it into realization."
Such an important thing to remember.
