It is time

I have decided it is time. It is time for me to finally do what I have always wanted to do. It is time for me to stop running from the passion that flows inside me. It is time that I become a writer.

INSPIRATION
"Experience is one thing you can't get for nothing."
Oscar Wilde
I couldn't find this more true to my life than now.


"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."
Mark Twain
If my trials and tribulations have taught me anything it's only keep those close to you that help push you forward instead of hold you down.


"Good writing is supposed to evoke sensation in the reader—not the fact that it is raining, but the feeling of being rained upon."
E.L. Doctorow
The day that I get to be an accomplished, well known, author, I will remember this. I will remember to view my glass as half full instead of half empty.


"Becoming the reader is the essence of becoming a writer."
John O'Hara
Indulge in the inspiration of others words.


"Read a lot, finding out what kind of writing turns you on, in order to develop a criterion for your own writing. And then trust it—and yourself."
Rosemary Daniell
Here's to self discovery :)

"Read, read, read. Read everything—trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the most. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it is good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out the window."
William Faulkner
Love it.

"Only write from your own passion, your own truth. That's the only thing you really know about, and anything else leads you away from the pulse."
Marianne Williamson

"You must want to enough. Enough to take all the rejections, enough to pay the price of disappointment and discouragement while you are learning. Like any other artist you must learn your craft—then you can add all the genius you like."
Phyllis A. Whitney
