I’m going to be doing a video answering your questions!
The first 20ish asks I get after I post this will be answered in a video by the end of the week. Just put ‘video’ before what you’re asking, so I know you want me to answer it in the video. Anything without ‘video’ in front of it will be answered as usual. I hope to do one of these every couple weeks/once a month =]

“Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn’t carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life.”—Stephen King
The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them — words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you’ve said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That’s the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a tellar but for want of an understanding ear.
-Stephen King
"You can approach the act of writing with nervousness, excitement, hopefulness, or even despair, the sense that you can never completely put on the page what is in your mind and heart. You can come to the act with your fists clenched and your eyes narrowed, ready to kick ass and take down names. You can come to it because you want a girl to marry you or because you want to change the world. Come to it any way but lightly. Let me say it again: you must not come lightly to the blank page."

Commala-come-come,
The battle’s now begun!
And all the foes of men and rose
Rise with the setting sun.
"A little talent is a good thing to have if you want to be a writer. But the only real requirement is the ability to remember every scar."
- Stephen King (via fierycross)
