“If you’re a writer, you might never make a million dollars, but you may write stories that help others feel valued, accepted, understood, confident, not alone. You can make that kind of magic.” {Susanna Leonard Hill}

“Everything feeds into my creativity. But without proper preparation, I cannot see it, retain it, and use it. Without the time and effort invested in getting ready to create, you can be hit by the thunderbolt and it’ll just leave you stunned.” {Thyla Tharp, The Creative Habit}
