A Cool Thing About Writing Is That The Better You Get At It, The More You're Aware Of What You Want Out

Screenshot of a tweet by @SamSykesSwears, saying, "A cool thing about writing is that the better you get at it, the more you're aware of what you want out of it, which means it gets harder, which means you actually feel like you're getting worse.

"And by 'cool thing,' I mean 'what the fuck, man'"

A cool thing about writing is that the better you get at it, the more you're aware of what you want out of it, which means it gets harder, which means you actually feel like you're getting worse.

And by "cool thing," I mean "what the fuck, man"

Here are some thoughts I've had and quoted.

She needs to stop smelling the roses or I'll push her into the thorny ones

"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. You sure as hell can drown it though!"

"Keep that shit up. I'll shove my foot so far up your ass, I'll wear you like a sock."

"I hope, with a prayer behind my teeth"

"As long as I hold your hand; I'd call the flames of hell paradise."

"The reason we have red roses is because Aphrodite got pricked or cut by a thorn and bled upon some white roses. I thought the god's blood ichor was foretold to be gold in color. Perhaps in that moment of vulnerability, she was human for that time as she rushed to her love. How human it is to fear to love something death can take away yet do so anyway."

"You can talk shit about me all you want, but you better be better than me."

"I know I'm kind, I know people hurt me because of it. Take advantage and hurt me and yet I'm still kind. 'if you want peace, prepare for war,' I'll be the peace and suffer the war."

"We'll make the fall of angels look like a little trip."

"I do not fear death. It is but a promised whisper, neither one of us knows when it'll come but it is not something to fear."

"When you are under emotional distress, you needn't cause pain to others in retribution. They don't need to bleed with you to understand you."

"She went from sweet, shy and timid to I'm going to harvest your organs in a minute."

"When I was in so much pain my body would give out from under me, I always felt the need to apologize. "I'm sorry that my body is so weak." I was a child, what the hell was I meant to be."

"You should never look a gift horse in the mouth but it keeps smiling at me."

"You're going to have to go and pick a god to protect you and hope they are stronger than my rage."

"I can appreciate another being, someone else's form- but I made a home in these bones that I call my own and wish for no other shape than the one I'm given."

"'Did you take your pills?' At least I have pills. Nothing can fix that shit personality of yours."

There is two-fold Silence-sea and shore-body and soul.One dwells in lonely places, Newly with grass o'ergrown; some solemn grace, Some human memories and tearful lore, Render him terrorless:his name is"No More

Kaidan: Okay, so this should be pretty simple. Repeat after me; don’t kill people.

Miraak: Put them in a cage.

Kaidan: …Let’s try again. Don’t kill people.

Miraak: Stalk them first.

Kaidan: Not quite what I’m saying.

Miraak: Sounds exactly the same to me.

Kaidan: Does it?

Miraak: Yeah.

Kaidan: Okay… okay. Let’s try again.

Miraak: Got it.

Kaidan: Don’t.

Miraak: Don’t.

Kaidan: Kill.

Miraak: Kill.

Kaidan: People.

Miraak: People.

Kaidan: Yeah, that’s great. That’s it. That’s good. Now faster; don’t kill people.

Miraak: She brought it on herself.

Kaidan: This is too hard. I can’t-I can’t teach you.

What's the price?

What must I do?

No, you don't understand

I must have a worth to be kept

Don't I?

Is my sacrifices, not the price?

Is my tomfoolery not enough for the cent?

Is my assistance sparse and irrelevant?

I have to beseech you to speak

For the person you did a deed for is the one meant to speak praise so I'll keep my head down till you sing

Forgive my racing heart and mind

I'm terrified

Please, I beg of thee

Do not abandon me

Tell me quick

What's the price to keep you near me?

For you to forgive and not flee me

For the harsh words to be more of a breeze

You tell me to do for myself

But I have debts to pay to you and seemingly everybody

Please don't throw me away

I know not how to be irreplaceable

I learned young I am

Please, don't give up on me

Don't toss me aside because I'm troublesome

I swear I'm worth my salt

So, what's the price?

I just accidentally made un-tea?????

I made green tea, but I forgot there was an old bag of chai in the kettle, so I mixed chai water with decaf green tea, then I mixed in like a half table spoon or something of that honey from the dollar store that they aren't legally allowed to call honey because there's too much corn syrup in it and some almond milk and a single drop of coffee creamer because we ran out and???? It tastes like??? Nothing????

It has LESS flavor than my tap water! HOW do you EVEN-

I think I made a flavor that's only perceptible to shrimp, that's the only explanation
