Words of Wisdom for this bleak morning…
“There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open….”

I picked up your book “Bookmark Now: Writing In Unreaderly Times” a few weeks ago from the local Borders here at the mall. I haven’t read it yet, and my boyfriend says its next on his “to-read” list. When we both have completed it, I’ll be sure and let you know our thoughts on it. Personally I can’t wait to get started on it. Take care!
