Marti Noxon Quotes

The musings are the same I believe the fire to create burns so heavily that I am never far from a guitar or a fountain pen.

I need to write to be happy.

Anyone who has problems, or worries, anyone who laughs and cries, anyone who feels can write. It's only talking on paper... talking about the things that matter to us.

Writing helps me create a different world that I can escape to.

When we put the pen to paper, we articulate things in our life that we may have felt vague about. Before you write about something, somebody says, 'How do you feel?' and you say, 'Oh, I feel okay.' Then you write about it, and you discover you don't feel okay.
