The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.
~ Sylvia Plath

You can, you should
and if you’re brave enough to start, you will
~ Stephen King

Failure teaches you more than success.
~ Russian Proverb

There is nothing to writing.
All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.
~ Ernest Hemingway

And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more. ~ Erica Jong

And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand,
Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand.
~ William Shakespeare

Sicario takes what would have been
a great emotionally complex female protagonist
and undermines her via repeated victimization and abuse.
~ Anita Sarkeesian

Nothing is as real as a dream.
The world can change around you, but your dream will not.
Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it.
Because the dream is within you, no one can take it away.
~ Tom Clancy

When asked, "How do you write?"
I invariably answer, "one word at a time."
~ Stephen King

Originality is nothing but judicious imitation.
~ Voltaire

There once was a writer in Cali
Who fell into a creative valley
To get the words flowing
He spent his time going
To places where quiet thoughts rallied

#WIP question for the #WritingCommunity

How many antagonists is too many for a book series? Like if you think about a series like #TheWalkingDead you have several main villains which don’t really overlap but all exist within that universe.

“I highly recommend this book to any Scifi fans. Ancient Lies pulled me in and kept me wanting more. The three timelines are masterfully connected and never confusing.
