My Bookly Adventures
A fiction writer is never entirely alone. Her characters are constantly whispering in her ear. Writing is not a social endeavor. It requires solitude - a meeting between you and your characters on their turf. Some of us can find solitude in a crowded café or the local mall. And none at home.

from The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.

“Bye, Rue,” I whisper. I press the three middle fingers of my left hand against my lips and hold them out in her direction.
Then I walk away without looking back.
