I am a firm believer that sometimes the hardest moments create the most beautiful memories. You can look back and see the profound sunset in the difficulties of life and then focus on the new exquisite you.

As for me, I use my experiences and dreams and write them down.

I also love using quotes and songs to inspire me to write. 

Songs:

For my new story "The Proud Lord's Daughter" I was inspired by the song: The Rains of Castamere sung by Karliene.  Which you can listen to while reading the first chapter. 

Quotes: 

"The greatness of man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively." - Bob Marley

"Almost every successful person begins with two beliefs: the future can be better than the present, and I have the power to make it so" - David Brooks

"Early to bed and early to rise," Mazer intoned, "makes a man stupid and blind in the eyes." - Orson Scott Card; Ender's Game

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” - Maya Angelou
