Coffee and Papercuts - Paperback

by Leah Bailey (Author)

"Throw up into your typewriter every morning. Clean up every noon." Raymond Chandler

Writing is a constant, living, breathing thing. Everyone has something worth saying; something worth listening to. We are told one person can't change the world, that one voice in a crowd isn't loud enough and that truth can be in the eyes and ears of the beholder. Some writers, however, disagree.

This is a collection of stray thoughts and daydreams, poetry and prose, fueled by caffeine and punctuated by the papercuts we get when we try to turn the pages of our life without being careful enough. Speaking up can change the world... but even when it doesn't what we have to say is still worth saying. Even if the difference is only to one person. Enjoy the efforts within, let them make you smile and laugh, or think carefully about experiences shared. After, consider writing your own. Whether it's serious or silly, intellectual or idiotic, make a brew, pick up a pen and enjoy what happens next.
