Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you! Dr. Seuss I had the honor of joining a writing group with all veterans today.

My opinions have evolved, but mostly because as aContinue reading “Quenched”

All good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath. F. Scott Fitzgerald Good writing? Holding your breath? How long? What are we writing about? This quote just creates more questions for me. When we read writing do we know it’s good when we feel like we’re holding our breath?
Loved Much
That man is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much. Robert Louis Stevenson Now, this is the bar. This is worth living up to.
