"Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life."
There's nothing I love more than the thrill of inspiration. Putting words down on paper and arranging them in pleasant little lines and hanging them together until the whole begins to fade away as emotions take their place. Moving people, making someone FEEL something, taking them on a journey of minutes or hours to a different place, a better place, a place of beauty or wonder or bedazzlement... That's what I live for. It's what I long to do. More to me than oxygen are the ink-smudged fingers and starry eyes quintessential of the writing life. I hope to share some of that with you.
