This blog post is just about some author musings I have thought about or come across that made me think deeply about the world of writing, books and just being a writer and an author… Enjoy…

“I realise that we fall in love with the souls of characters, their being, their realness even though they are not in fact… real. We fall in love with their journeys, their thoughts, their pain, their anguish, their happiness, their flaws, their words and ultimately their human souls that were given to them by an author, by a writer, by someone who has probably felt all these emotions and put them into someone else. We don’t see them visually, we don’t see their appearance and fall in love with them, we fall in love with what is written between the lines”. Piper Nuelle.

“We are like books. Most people only see our cover, the minority read only the introduction, many people believe the critics. Few will know our content”. Emile Zola.

“It’s never too late and you’re never too old to collect books”, Anon.

“I like old bookstores, the smell of coffee brewing, rainy day naps, farmhouse porches and sunsets. I like the sweet, simple things that remind me that life doesn’t have to be complicated to be beautiful”. Brooke Hampton.

“Happiness to me is lighting a candle, putting on a face mask, having a warm cup of hot chocolate and reading a bloody good book”. Mercedes Prunty.

“Biblichor – noun – The comforting smell of old books”. Hooked to books.

“When I think of all the books still left to read, I am certain of further happiness”. Jules Renard.

“To read is to walk a mile or a few in someone else’s shoes. To hoard books is to plan to walk more miles but instead you sit and look at all the pretty covers”. Piper Nuelle.

“I’m not anti-social, I just prefer books”, Anon.

“My home is where my Library is”. Elie Wiesel.

“Wherever I am, if I’ve got a book with me, I have a place I can go and be happy”. J K Rowling.

“Most of us are just happy with simple and basic things of life; a cosy home, some good books, family and friends around, simple desires, and something warm to drink”. Sangeeta Rana.

“This won’t take 1 year or 2, it’ll take 5! Because I’m not just writing books… I’m building a world you can live in”. Anon.

“You call it OCD, I call it Obsessive Collecting-Book Disorder… The B for book is silent”. Piper Nuelle.

“Read books! They said. It’ll be fun! They said. Now I have a reading addiction, impossibly high standards and I’m unsatisfied with the real world”. Anon.

“Don’t just write a book, rewrite it a thousand ways to create a thousand stories”. Mercedes Prunty.

I hope you enjoyed my author musings and memes and quotes for the day.
