Words to Live By

"Err on the side of love."
- my Mama

"Life isn't about finding yourself.
Life is about creating yourself."
- Anonymous

“Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love,
and love what you write.
The key word is love.
You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for.”
- Ray Bradbury
