Quotes Borrowing their basic and their eccentric so I can create me a world in which something is born; beautiful, complicated, suspicious or tragic. And throughout this borrowing and stealing, I think of my muses too, knowing that most of them have no idea just how that momentary intersection of our paths was the poem, the chapter, the missing piece of a story. I sometimes, share the pieces of what I create, with the people that inspired them, to honour us both, but mostly, it is my secret to keep. Today, I am writing from Caffeine Fussion, a little cafe quaint in that manner that creatives obsess over. My sisters and I happened upon it on one of our weekend walks, and I knew I would create something here, probably something beautiful. Yesterday, I was writing from Kikuyu, and the garden of that location was an immediate inspiration to the fields of my wandering through the creation process. These finds, these constantly seeing places as somewhere something could happen, is what I love. These and more, are all the things I love about writing. And maybe in time, I will tell you just what I don’t like about it, and then tie it back to how that’s precisely why I love it because if I am being honest, however had and painful this process has been, I wouldn’t want to live without this ability to create, however good, however bad.
