“If you really want to be a writer, nobody can stop you -- and if you don't, nobody can help you.”
Alma Alexander

“You have never felt the weight of disappointing love or of failing to live up to expectations. The only thing you've ever been is lonely by yourself-you have no idea how desperate it is to be lonely in the midst of people who love you, and whom you would have done anything to make happy..”
Alma Alexander, Spellspam
