Well done is better than well said.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Only the educated are free.
You never know what motivates you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
I have two ideas for novels at the moment, neither of them all that conventional, but I'm not ready to choose between them yet, let alone settle down to the process of writing.
