LinkFest: Best Reads on Writing, Screenwriting & Self-Publishing: Mother!

in Reads on Writing & Self-Publishing on 16/02/18

Mother

Javier Bardem: This is not about us. It’s about them.

Mother: No! It’s not about them. It’s about you. It’s always about you. And your work. You think that’s gonna help you write? Nothing does! I rebuilt this entire house, wall to wall… You have written no word.

Javier Bardem: I know! I know! I’m sorry! I can’t, I can’t write. I can’t think. All I’m trying to do is bring life into this house. Open the door to new people, new ideas… You think you can breathe. I’m the one who’s suffocating here.  What you pretend that nothing is wrong–everything will be alright,  everything will be good, you”ll be fine–, you know…life does not always work out the way you wanted to.

Mother: You are right. Mine certainly didn’t.

—Mother! 2017.
