“Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is…”

“Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence…”

Antoine de Saint Exupéry, The Little Prince (via books-n-quotes)

Tips for Writing Romance from A Passionate Defender of the Genre

linkeepsitreal:

Here’s the thing: romance is not inherently
interesting.

It’s not automatically compelling.

Romance is one of the hardest things to write, but
if you’re clever and careful and pay attention, romance can also be one of the
most powerful tools a writer can wield. Not only because love is a powerful and
complex emotion worthy of exploration—although it is that—but because romance
can function as plot, conflict, character motivation, development,
world-building, etc. It can do so much heavy lifting for you, and in a way that

“I’m not telling you to make the world better, because I don’t think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I’m just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment.

Joan Didion.
