On Writing : What’s a line you’ve written that still makes you think, “Damn… I did that”? by Kat Spencer

I like this line...

When the hand is wounded, the eyes are the first to cry.

And when the eyes cry,

that same injured hand will reach up...

wiping away the tears —

without ever complaining about its own pain.

She pauses, looking deep into him.

That’s how love works,

Real love.

It hurts… but it still reaches out.

Hi, Kat Spencer. Here's the first action line of a Holiday/Comedy/Crime script I'm rewriting: "No Christmas decorations. Just a worn-down complex decorated with crime."

Love them all! Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome, Kat Spencer. Thanks. What's something that really struck you?

Every line in Access Denied.

I don't have lines, but I do have scenes I feel that way about. I have way too many books to remember lines.

"He`s not writing another one...is he?" from my musical McGonagall: The Musical Mistake.

“Within thus hereinafter shalt sorrows attend to the lovers.”

–James Arthur Wunderlich

Thanks, Kat Spenser. Much appreciated!

James Wunderlich That's a beautiful line.

Maurice Vaughan - "To say that it is love is to diminish its strength and quality to something that can be quantified, which this cannot." - from my novel Escaping the Muse

I like that line, Kat Spencer! And the title!

Kat Spencer That's a wonderful line. I always find it incredibly fascinating and meaningful when works try to describe the intangible; it leads to really creative expressions.

Thank you Maurice Vaughan! :D

It does John X. Ingram. Thank you :) I suppose that's why I started with piano instrumentals. Before I could find the words.

You're welcome, Kat Spencer.
