"It wasn't full-blown self loathing, more a hollowness that hit me in the chest at certain times -- a long subway ride home from a mediocre date."

Finding the right words to say when you’re about to confront someone about lingering issues and feelings is a challenge.

All I want is to put it out there and move forward or move on or both. Whatever is required. Being mature is the hard part but I’m learning.

Always learning. Always breathing. Always moving upward onward and forward.

Had to reblog.

Isn’t that part of the joy of what we do? When whatever it is that makes us writers fires at the right time and at the right place, and the perfect word/phrase/sentence in exactly the right place happens? It can happen anywhere—you could be somebody who’s doing four running stories in an afternoon at a state high-school tournament, or a bonus piece for SI, or anything in between, and you see a player or experience a moment, and something sparks in your head, the connection happens, and you can almost hear a big door closing—WHOOM!—because there’s nothing more to say. You’ve found a way, at least for that moment, to get the language to do exactly what you want it to do.

One of many reasons I admire Chris Jones

“I’m an extremely careful self-editor: I spend a long time rewriting and polishing blog posts, even. It’s just how I’m built. It has to sound right in my head, or I’m not happy with it. And I’ll keep going back at it until it sits right on the page, if that makes sense. It has to look a certain way for me.”

I dream of beautiful words, places, people. I want it all! I'll have it all.
