Kelly Barnhill quotes:

Stories have a tendency to seep across the shining membrane walls separating the universes. They whisper and flutter like the feathers of birds, from island to mainland and back again. They fall into dreams like rain.

That's the magic of revisions - every cut is necessary, and every cut hurts, but something new always grows.

Love transforms our fragile, cowardly hearts into hearts of stone, hearts of blade, hearts of hardest iron. Because love makes heroes of us all."

There's no such thing as complete when it comes to stories. Stories are infinite. They are as infinite as worlds.
