If you can dream it, you can do it.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Who seeks shall find.
After a storm comes a calm.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Well done is better than well said.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
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.
