But no one falls
Do you suppose
That tales so tall
Are real for you
Or somehow true
Not wholly dross?

“You have to surrender to your mediocrity, and just write. Because it’s hard, really hard, to write even a crappy book.

No one is going to write your book for you and you can’t write anybody’s book but your own.”

— Cheryl Strayed
