“Editing fiction is like using your fingers to untangle the hair of someone you love.”
Stephanie Roberts

“there are people capable of eating popcorn at the movie of your agony”
stephanie roberts, rushes from the river disappointment (Volume 53)

“I am protective of the gentle slope of stomach bulging like an early pregnancy, at my waist. I've earned its existence with everything I've been forced to swallow.”
Stephanie Roberts

“The universe is a continuous web. Touch it at any point and the whole web quivers.”
Stanley Kunitz

“They're only crayons. You didn't fear them in Kindergarten, why fear them now?”
Hugh MacLeod, Ignore Everybody: and 39 Other Keys to Creativity

“John Steinbeck once said that socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”
Ronald Wright, A Short History of Progress

“Editing fiction is like using your fingers to untangle the hair of someone you love.”
Stephanie Roberts

“You don't write a novel out of sheer pity any more than you blow a safe out of a vague longing to be rich. A certain ruthlessness and a sense of alienation from society is as essential to creative writing as it is to armed robbery.”
Nelson Algren, Nonconformity: Writing on Writing
