Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
I can, therefore I am.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Never complain and never explain.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
You never know what motivates you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
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.
