"I'm a writer.
The characters I create aren't me, they are a part of me.
They are the part of me who is: the adventurer, the romantic, the warrior, the princess, the hero, the villain, the freak, and the friend.
They are the parts I hide, the parts I wish to be, the parts I have been, and the parts I will be.
Every story is based on a truth.
Your truth."

"I'm a writer. I write. I create worlds beyond your imagination. I fall in love on a daily basis. I watch my best friend die, I fall in love, I lose everything, I gain everything. I learn, I lose, and all the while I haven't even lived half my life yet."

"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing." - Benjamin Franklin.

"You're a great writer. Not an aspiring writer, a mediocre writer, or a someday, somehow, almost writer. You're a great writer right now. People are going to line up ten deep to tell you that you aren't good enough. Don't do their work for them. Maybe you're aren't published. Maybe you aren't successful. You definitely aren't perfect. But you're a great writer. Being great doesn't mean you won't continue to improve, or be excited or passionate. My awesome takes nothing away from your awesome. Your awesome takes nothing away from my awesome. Awesome is not a finite resource.
So say it. Out loud. Every day.
I AM A GREAT WRITER."
