Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Never complain and never explain.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
I can, therefore I am.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Perhaps, all writers walk such a line. In general - as we all do in our dreams - I believe I put something of myself into all the characters in my novels, male as well as female.
