Only Fools Think They're Wise; The Rest

Write From The Heart, What Has Meaning To You Personally; Have The Patience And Discipline To Sit Down And Do It Every Day Whether You're Feeling Inspired Or Not; Never Be Afraid To Take Chances, In Fact, Make Sure You Take Chances. As Soon As You Become Complacent, You Become Boring ... . Read As Much As Possible, Not Simply In The Genre, Or What You Think You're Interested In, But Other Things As Well.

I Finally Figured Out That I’m Solitary By Nature, But At The Same Time I Know So Many People; So Many People Think They Own A Piece Of Me.

It's Not All About Getting Your Own Way. Sometimes There's A Bigger Picture.
