Kate Inglis Quotes
It's Easy To Want To Be An Author. You See It In Your Mind With Sun Streaming Through Windows And A Siamese Cat Purring On An Antique Rug And A Little Pellet Stove And Somehow The Bills Are Paid And There's Wit And Self-sufficiency And Divine Inspiration Seeping Through Walls And Pores. And Then, In Your Mind, You Skip Ahead To A Book Launch Party And More Siamese Cats.
When You Graduate From Wanting To Working, You Say, "I Am Going To Flesh Out This Idea And Write The Whole Thing Down, And Rewrite It, And Rewrite It Again, And Rewrite It Unendingly, And I'll Have No Real Assurance Of When It'll Be Good Enough, But At Some Point I'll Pitch It To Someone Who Will Decide If I'm Delusional Or Not." The Optimism And The Ego-bruising, Unsexy Work Needed To Follow Through Feels Unending.
