If you don't accept responsibility for your own actions then you are forever chained to a position of defense.

Actions have consequences... first rule of life. And the second rule is this - you are the only one responsible for your own actions.

This is writing. You cut out chunks of your own memories, rework them, bleed into them, breathe into the raw clay, and hope the creature lives.

Every writer has something to say, but those writers whose works endure have dared to say something about the things that frighten them, confuse them, challenge them, and occasionally delight them.

Courage is nothing more than taking one step more than you think you can.

The only place you will be accepted is the place you make for yourself.

I would rather be right and die than be wrong and kill.
