Writer Quotes
Alan Rickman
“I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously.”
–Alan Rickman (b. 1946 – d. 2016)
First Bowie, then Rickman. What a brutal week!
Some talent cannot be replaced.

Trigger Warning
“Life is always going to be stranger than fiction, because fiction has to be convincing, and life doesn’t.”
—Neil Gaiman
I am halfway through Neil Gaiman’s Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances and I am spellbound. I haven’t read anything of Gaiman’s in a while and I’m so glad I rediscovered him. With apologies to the dozens of books in my must-read pile (some of which have been there for years), I may have to indulge in more of his work.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas
and
Best wishes for 2016!
Norman Mailer
“Writers don’t have lifestyles. They sit in little rooms and write.”
–Norman Mailer
“Damn you tiny assassin”
“Say I feel all sad and self-indulgent, then get stung by a wasp, my misery feels quite abstract and I long just to be in spiritual pain once more – ‘damn you tiny assassin, clad in yellow and black, how I crave my former innocence where melancholy was my only trial’.”
–Russell Brand, Articles of Faith
Six times the little devils stung me in the ankle. My foot swelled three times its size.
I had the BEST pity party.
The bears are awake
“Oh, Bear!” said Christopher Robin. “How I do love you!”
“So do I,” said Pooh.”
— A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh
