I can, therefore I am.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Who seeks shall find.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Never complain and never explain.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you think you can do it, you can.
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.
