I can, therefore I am.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
It's always too early to quit.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Perhaps, all writers walk such a line. In general - as we all do in our dreams - I believe I put something of myself into all the characters in my novels, male as well as female.
