If you think you can do it, you can.
It's always too early to quit.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
You never know what motivates you.
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.
