Writing is more than just a method to tell stories. It__ a way to find healing, and to healing others.

You don__ have any control over anyone__ feelings.You can__ make your parents feel proud of you.You can__ make anyone like you.You can__ make anyone love you.You can make it easier for them, by sacrificing your time and energy, but you cannot MAKE THEM, you can only make it easier for them_ and yet again, what have you gained? Nothing. You__e gambling. Putting trust coins into a slot machine hoping that love comes out.

Let your story grow. Let it surprise you, and it will certainly surprise your readers.

You think you have no __alent_? Write anyway. lots of people with __alent_ don__ actually act on it. As long as you write, you will learn, you will improve, and you will be better than anyone claiming to have __alent.

There is no ceremony, no initiation ritual, no secret hand-shake. All you need to be a writer is to write.

Make today the day you begin that awesome idea you have had for years. Now go, write this book, and remember that today is an important day in history.

You will not publish 100% of the books you don__ write.

Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow is beyond our reach. The best time to write is now, in the present.

Do you think you__e not __eady_ to start that big story idea/project you__e been thinking about forever?Jump in. Write anyway. The only way to make the impossible a reality is to take a leap of faith.

If you were waiting for a sign that you__e meant to be a writer_THIS IS IT.

Every writer in the history of the world has been afraid to put words on the page. But we only remember those who overcame that fear.

Writing is an adventure. There is no way to know where it will take you, and what you will find. You could find success. You could find fans. Or, best of all, you could find yourself.

Description is the color in the canvas of your story.

If you wish to be a writer_ then write, and don__ allow anyone to tell you that you__e on the __rong_ path. You know where you__e going, and each word you write gets you a step closer.

Originality is not writing the story that has never been told, but writing the stories only you can tell.

Stop beating yourself up over all the days you didn__ work on your story. Focus on what you can do today.Sit down, and write.

TODAY IS A GREAT DAY TO MAKE ART.

You were meant to write this book.
