There is nothing that a cup of hot coffee and a good book can't heal.  By a good book, I don't necessarily mean a good book with high literary quotes or over the top motivational speeches. Sometimes a locked psych ward, a husband being framed for his wife's murder, a psychiatrist trying to uncover the past of a brutal murder can bring the same amount of joy and comfort to you than any good book can.

It is then that we come to know, that the Count is actually a famous actor. Even though the Baudelaire children insist that they've never heard of him, Mr. Poe ...

How to romanticize writing: so you don't avoid it It's such a beautiful word- "romanticize". To take in every simple moments and noticing the beauty surrounding you.(yes I copied that from the picture but that's not the point) In today's world, people generally romanticize their day to day life to feel more like a character from a comforting book/movie/show. It makes them think of themselves as a part of a life they can never have. But it is truly so much more than that. There is something oddly magical about sitting down at your desk with a warm drink, opening your notebook, putting on your favorite writing playlist, and realizing that, for the next hour, your only job is to tell a story. That's what romanticizing writing means to me. This article focuses on how you can romanticize writing, so it doesn't feel like a chore anymore but a part of your life. Something you have to do. Something you get to do. I have a beautiful list of things to do t...
