Writers on Writing: Thoughts on the Writing Journey
“What(ever) you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”
– Johann von Goethe, German poet, novelist, playwright
“Be bold and unseen forces come to one’s aid.”
Love that one (perhaps the story of my ‘little’ life, sorry, m)!

Incidentally, the paperback (of this “quick/rough first draft”) has also just been published by Amazon (Createspace) and I’ve ordered a proof copy, so that I can more easily edit out the repetitions.
Anyway, enjoy and happy writing…
PS
“I truly believe we can ALL create and enthuse magic into ‘so-called humdrum little lives’. You don’t just have to be the choreographer, or the conductor of your life script – rather paint your life as the masterpiece it could (one day) be. There is a rich tapestry of talent in every human soul, that flows through the spirit of God. So don’t spend your days stringing and tuning your instrument; start making and playing your unique tunes of music right now.”

“A writer’s really deep in the smelly brown stuff when they desperately resort to running creative writing courses!”
“Those who can do, those who can’t teach.”*
* however, this definitely does not apply to school-teachers, who do a most valuable job!
