A little truth and a little self-deprecating trash talk to myself, from me, as I tend to think in conversation of characters rather than as mental soliloquies. Quoting oneself is vanity, if one is trying to become quotable or assert one is quotable in that sense. To be quotable means someone else has to quote you, and that has yet happen to me despite all the quotes I have written for myself throughout my life, though only started sharing since the late days of COVID when I learned to self-publish on Amazon to be able to help others with “a novel in them” to get it out of them, whereby I could complete the process for them. To self-publish, though, I needed to have something to publish, so I collected 100 of those quotes and wrote a little something about them, like this post about this quote, and put it in a little book called Stars I Put in My Sky to Live By on Amazon. I’m flattered a few people have taken the time and kindness to rate it there, and even on Goodreads. However, I’ve yet been quoted so I can’t claim to be quotable despite all the quotes. Maybe that says something about my quotes! 😉
