"Kiss your ghosts. Laugh at yourself. Weep in the shrubs. Keep going." Alina Stefanescu

Become a minor writer. Give up on the master discourses and the idea of greatness and write the book you can’t resist. Write the ones that obsess and distress you. Read until your eyes sting. Kiss your ghosts. Laugh at yourself. Weep in the shrubs. Keep going. Alina Stefanescu
