“"Let people have their opinions. More than that--let people love their opinions, just as you and I are in love with ours. But never delude yourself into believing that you require someone else's blessing (or even their comprehension) in order to make your own creative work. And always remember that people's judgments about you are none of your business."
I feel inspired, honestly. It was like having a conversation with a friend over coffee and brainstorming what's next. I believe everyone should read or listen to this book. another favorite quote "if you're alive, you're a creative person."
She mainly talks about creative writing but once you get past that, you can really put what she's saying to every part of your life and I think that's what resonates the most with me. Easily digestable and feels easy to "incorporate" into life. Her writing style is relaxed and enjoyable!”
