Betty Damil said:" Even in Death, may i be triumphant."` Darren Shan
went so well with the storyline of the Cirque du freak books.
here's some i made up
"Breathe in the life, your soul has gathered from the Darkness..."
and um..
"To lie in your grave, truly forces you to embrace the death that awaits you...
....Whether you want it or not, is another matter.."
I love this one from Edgar Allen Poe
"..And all i lov'd- I lov'd alone."

I can relate to that. The best things come to you in the middle of the night, don't you think so? I find that too. And it's never the night that the pen and paper is within reach. I'll trip over my husband and the dogs to get some sometimes LOL.

"Successful writers are not the ones who write the best sentences. They are the ones who keep writing. They are the ones who discover what is most important and strangest and most pleasurable in themselves, and keep believing in the value of their work, despite the difficulties." - Bonnie Friedman

My favorites are "You can't outgive God" and "When you tell the truth, you don't have to remember what you say."

My gran used to say a similar version of the second one, Alenna. Hers was "if you don't lie, you don't need a good memory." :)

I have the exact same problem, it's just a little bit difficult once you hit a spot where you can't think of anything
scribbler said:I like it. I need to make writing more of a habit than it is. I'm not too bad at getting going. It's keeping going that's hard. :)

I've done that too and scrawled down the most brilliant ideas in the middle of the night. Then in the morning I can't read a word of them LOL. I really should take time to make the notes legible. :)

Heck, I don't want to wake up that much! :) It would just be nice to be able to decipher them. I read this quote today. We're in good company.
"I willingly trust myself to chance. I let my thoughts wander, I digress, not only sitting at my work, but all day long, all night even. It often happens that a sentence suddenly runs through my head before I go to bed, or when I am unable to sleep, and I get up again and write it down." - Simone de Beauvoir
