“Maybe ‘okay’ will be our ‘always’”

I realized that these shoes were almost the same color as the TFiOS cover after I bought them and couldn’t help myself.

One day, you’re 17 and you’re planning for someday. And then quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life.

I mean, I know where I’ll be on tour in two months, but no idea where I’m going to be mentally, emotionally, dreams, goals, wishes, hopes. I have no idea if I’m going to get married or be single forever or have a family or just be on my own. You know, paint in a cottage by the ocean by myself. I just have no idea and I’m kind of into that.’
Taylor Swift (Wonderland)

i think they are going to film city of ashes and city of glass back to back so they can start shooting clockwork angel because think about it they are already working on that script. that means we arent going to have to wait that long in between movies

They’ll still make us wait a year.  This is what they did for The Hobbit.  :( Sorry.

It’s when you’re acting selflessly that you are at your bravest.

1. Read, read read! Classic poems for children and adults, books about poetry. Never trust anyone who writes more than he or she reads. Even if you want to write free verse, learn verse forms and metrics until your eyes glaze over. You can break those rules, but only after you have learned them first.

2. Make a dictionary your best friend, no matter how geeky that sounds. Most children will speak only one language in their lifetimes, so why not make your fluency in that language as masterful as you can.

3. If you say you want to be a writer (prose or poetry), I applaud you. The next words out of your mouth should be, “But I promise to be a rewriter!” I don’t even know why we use the word “writer.” All the great writers in the world have been rewriters. So buy yourself a big wastebasket, and keep it filled.
