When an Idea Needs to Be Heard

“I rewrite my books many times before submitting them, and after my editor takes a look I wind up rewriting some more! It’s a good thing I learned at an early age to keep on trying. Stick to it, and eventually you’ll get there.”
~ Wendelin Van Draanen

Diving Deep…and Staying There

Just Because You’re Hungry

“I love the beautiful distractions of the world – television and movies, video games, the Internet in general. But I try really hard to avoid them, because they don’t help me become a better writer. They subtract hours from my day. And a writer’s main currency is time. Time to daydream, time to walk and think, time to sit and do the work.”
~ Nick Petrie

Who Am I To Be Discouraged?

“Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement.”

Cleaning up my site!

After my site was hacked, I moved it to another hosting service. There have still been some issues so we’ll be spending this holiday weekend dealing with them. We plan to be up and running on Tuesday, February, 20, so come on back then!
