The illustration resonated with me more than the quote.
To me, it looks as though the bleeding hearts are in a vial of ink which made me think that writers pour their hearts/souls/brains into their writing...which made me think of the old quote from Gene Fowler "Writing is easy. All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead." which in turn made me think of the cartoon posted in many (many many) writers blogs of the little stick figure writer who bashes his head on his keyboard until it's a bloody pulp...which I guess just goes to say WRITING IS HARD and hard leads to "dark thoughts" ... you have just visited the inside of moo's brain --skeery isn't it?
