Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Wherever you are - be all there.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Who seeks shall find.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
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.
