Never complain and never explain.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Who seeks shall find.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
I can, therefore I am.
Wherever you are - be all there.
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.
