Honestly I need to find my paperback copy of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn because I highlighted so many quotes and passages and I just want that nostalgia.

March 6, 2023 - Writing In a Book
Well, this one was easy enough to do, since I'm part of the Traveling Book Project. But this is from the first few pages from The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. I have read this exactly once before and because of just how heavy and turbid the material in this book feels to be, I haven't read it since. But I was excited to see it on the list of books to read for the Traveling Book Project. It gave me the push I needed to reread this book.
Do you write in your books? Why or why not? I do, but a passage needs to really stand out to me, or like this project, I'm encouraged by others to do so. Have you ever been a part of a traveling book project? Would you like to be? What book would you send out?

You know what. Annotating in books helps me focus and keeps me on track. I'll write in my books. You don't have to like it but it makes me happy.

So I’m annotating six of crows for my sister in law and it’s been a hot minute since I last read it and umm I didn’t realize how many iconic quotes Kaz Brekker had!! Like I knew there were some but I didn’t realize how many, like…
Greed bows to me. It is my servant and my lever
I’m the kind of bastard they only manufacture in the barrel
When everyone knows you’re a monster, you needn’t waste time doing every monstrous thing
Oh, it’s worse than that, Van Eck. If I fail, I don’t get paid
We’ll be Kings and Queens, Inej. Kings and Queens
Brick by brick, I will destroy you
Please, my darling Inej, treasure of my heart, won’t you do me the honor of acquiring me a new hat?
We’ll have waffles. And Whiskey. If this job doesn’t come off, no one’s going to want to be around me sober.
And those are quotes found in the first 100 pages, like part 1. Hello? Like who gave Kaz Brekker the right to have that many quotes that slap?
And don’t even get me started on Inej cause she has a record of iconic tracks too

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

Random writing thought: the best stories are often the ones that only you could have written — but also the ones that you could only write at this one moment.
I couldn't write All the Birds in the Sky from scratch now if I tried. But the me of 2013 couldn't have written The Prodigal Mother either.

those first couple weeks after escaping a time loop have gotta be disorienting as all fuck. all those little cues that used to tell you what's about to happen are now triggers that cause you to brace for something that isn't coming. you have to relearn the permanence of death -- hell, you have reacquaint yourself with the entire concept of finality altogether. everything keeps changing but it never changes back and you keep having to remind yourself that this is normal. "it won't reset anymore," you echo to yourself, over and over and over, like a broken record, like you're still trapped in a loop, like someone who escaped the time loop but was doomed to bring it into the future with them

I was all happily annotating this copy of six of crows for my sister in law and went to tell someone about it and I was all excited and they told me my sister in law wasn’t going to read it, just like that. And now I feel really unmotivated to carry on annotating it cause I’m hurt by that comment but also anxious and thinking that maybe the person who said that are right and my sister in law won’t read it and I’m wasting my time and I feel like crying cause I was so excited about this bc my sister in law is not really into reading but she wants to start doing so and so since she wanted to start with fantasy I thought I would annotate a copy for her so she can be more motivated to read it or what have you but now I’m not sure bc of that person that said my sister in law wasn’t going to read it!! I did dm her and asked her and told her about the situation so let’s see what she says but for now I don’t feel like carrying on doing that. Not even for myself if I do end up keeping the copy but tomorrow will be another so will see what happens.
