Where does a writer's inspiration come from? I'm not sure I could put it any better than Bill does when he says, "a writer is only as good as the sum of their experiences." When watching Stuck In Love, one gets the opportunity to watch a family of writers as they live their lives in search of their inspiration.
Every writer has a different journey, just as love is never the same love twice. Watching each of these writers find their journey through love is like getting to see the creative inspiration behind the book; the mystery inside the author's head. This movie explores love in all its forms, but it also allows you to see beyond the surface into something much deeper and personal: the creativity and the passion that spurs from love that is both lost and found.
Each of the characters throughout the movie realized that in order to be living they must put their heart on the line, risking pain and heartbreak and devastation. The beauty in this is that they then take this pain and turn it into words in order to heal. These words are not simply words anymore, but they're the beating of the writer's heart poured out onto the page.
"Writing is listening for that beating heart, and when we hear it, it is our job to decipher it to the best of our abilities."
Isn't that what we do, write from the heart?
