Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Leap, and the net will appear.
After a storm comes a calm.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Well done is better than well said.
If you think you can do it, you can.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
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.
