I love quotes, and started each chapter of Jewels in Time with a quote. Here is one of my favorites:
"She took a step and didn't want to take any more, but she did." (Markus Zusak, The Book Thief)
How often do we stop after taking that first step? We write a few chapters of a novel, but never write any more. We research that interesting job in another city or country, but never apply for it.
Here's to second steps. Don't just take the first step, take another step. They are only steps. See where they take you.
