“Some writing is a really nice solitary process, in a way, because you can be a little self-conscious around other people. If it's just you, and you're at your favorite piano, or whatever instrument, and you feel comfortable, then somehow, I always feel like it's opening a door and letting whatever is to pass through pass.” PeopleIfsWayFeelsWritingLittlesSelfProcessNiceDoorsComfortableConsciousInstrumentsOpeningPianoSolitarySelf ConsciousReally NiceYour Favorite Author:Marketa Irglova

“I like the idea of becoming [fairly] good at lots of things rather than very good at just one thing. So it would be nice to be okay at the guitar or at the piano, a reasonable cook, perhaps able to fix your car or do some basic carpentry, and be able to write the odd article. Rather than being super good at one tiny thing, to be kind of average at lots of things. It might mean that you have a more kind of enjoyable, complete life.” WritingKindMeanIdeasMightWould BeAbleNiceOne ThingCarBecomingOkayGuitarVery GoodAverageTinyCooksOddPianoJust OneReasonableBe KindArticlesBeing NiceEnjoyableCarpentryTiny ThingsComplete Life Author:Tom Hodgkinson

To just sort of sit and sing - that feels like the most natural fit for me.” ThinkingFeelsLittlesSoulUseRunningCertainBitsNaturalStepsAudienceNiceStageFitLittle BitInstrumentsConnectedMy SoulPianoPerformersAnchorsMicrophones Author:Sara Bareilles
