We really don’t talk enough about the spleen these days. People used to talk about the spleen like it was the king of organs, Shakespeare wrote it verse, these days you’re lucky if someone even knows they have one. Moby Dick opens with Ishmael going to sea to drive off the spleen, what have you done for your spleen lately? I want to be complemented on the splendour of my spleen, just once. I want to taste splenetic delights.

The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol

you're falling in the trap!! it will be read by many people, many times, and it will live on in their memories. and maybe no single other human will match you in time spent dedicated to your story, but as a collective we will outlast you. acts of creation only grow when they are shared

This. Writing is not like dinner. It can be consumed many times

This has probably been said but the way I had to force myself to understand writing was that it wasn't like making a meal, but it was like making a blanket

Somedays it will only be used once, and briefly, and then tucked away and forgotten about

Other days it will be used for weeks at a time until every pattern stitched in is memorized

And a couple times it will be wrapped around someone and used until the edges are frayed and worn and falling apart and every fibre or string or piece of yarn that was used in it's creation is memorized as something beautiful

Writing isn't cooking

It's creation

Pharaoh's eye sapphires” are a naturally occurring rarity in Australian parti sapphires where a yellow core is surrounded by blue or green.

Parti sapphires, also known as polychrome sapphires, show more than one color in a single stone. The most common bicolor combination is yellow and green. Rarer stones that show blue, purple, or lavender colors, or tricolor combinations, are especially prized.
