Lots of people want to have written; they don't want to write. In other words, they want to see their name on the front cover of a book and their grinning picture on the back. But this is what comes at the end of a job, not at the beginning.
Don't give away to others what you have not first given away at home.

When God is in sharp focus, then life is also undistorted.
Work on what is real rather than worry about what is unreal.
I knew from the age of seven that I was meant to be a writer.
