But …moreRight now I've committed myself to writing a blog EVERY day until I turn 40 next August. No one is holding me accountable for this except myself. But I'm doing it to prove to myself that (making the time for) writing or not writing is always a choice.

Of course there are days when I just don't feel like writing anything. But if I write something - even a paragraph, even a bad paragraph, it keeps that momentum going.

Now... if only I could attempt this sort of routine with exercise...(less)

William Shakespeare
“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”
William Shakespear, Hamlet

Charlotte Brontë
“The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed.”
Charlotte Brontë

Lord Byron
“If I do not write to empty my mind, I go mad.”
George Gordon Byron

William Shakespeare
“Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no, it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring barque,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.”
William Shakespeare, Great Sonnets

Dorothy Parker
“Time doth flit; oh shit.”
Dorothy Parker
