every book you’ve ever read is just a different combination of 26 letters
this post literally made me look away from my screen and rethink my entire life

And there are millions of teens who read because they are sad and lonely and enraged. They read because they live in an often-terrible world. They read because they believe, despite the callow protestations of certain adults, that books — especially the dark and dangerous ones — will save them.
As a child, I read because books – violent and not, blasphemous and not, terrifying and not – were the most loving and trustworthy things in my life. I read widely, and loved plenty of the classics so, yes, I recognized the domestic terrors faced by Louisa May Alcott’s March sisters. But I became the kid chased by werewolves, vampires, and evil clowns in Stephen King’s books. I read books about monsters and monstrous things, often written with monstrous language, because they taught me how to battle the real monsters in my life.
And now I write books for teenagers because I vividly remember what it felt like to be a teen facing everyday and epic dangers. I don’t write to protect them. It’s far too late for that. I write to give them weapons — in the form of words and ideas — that will help them fight their monsters. I write in blood because I remember what it felt like to bleed.

THIS IS THE MOST WONDERFULLY ACCURATE THING I’VE EVER LAID MY EYES ON
If anyone ever asks to compose my biography as a writer, I will just refer them to this.
Right now I’m at David Tennant in a spacesuit.

I love living in a world where I write something on Tumblr and the following day it’s an excellent graphic. Thank you!
