Live Dangerously... Battle the Creative Odds & Say Boo To All Those Who Say You Can't.
In one of my Deby moments this is the motto I wrote for myself quite some time back, and which I have posted to my wall... in case I forget.
*Live dangerously, avoid the razor, get hairy and be pleasantly surprised... you only live once, and if you're a Buddhist, you only live once each time... otherwise the long road to ever wondering and regret beckons, beckons, beckons.... when it might have been wonderful instead.
You have to fight to make your dreams come true. And when you think you’re done, turn around; a new fight is waiting in the wings. Become your own best gladiator. Never give up on YOU.
Cheers,
Deby

Imagination is our greatest tool.
Imagination is our greatest tool. When you create something meaningful, you share it with the world, even if no one else sees your final effort. When we imagine, and then create, we are stating by our thoughts and our actions who we are… and that person follows us around day and night for everyone else to see, interact and share with. If we have music in us, then we strum, sing or write our lyrics. If we have art in us then we sketch, draw or paint. And if we write, we are usually sharing our deepest thoughts and projections.
Writing is a tool that can captivate an audience in a way that no other art does. A book presents an opportunity to immerse ourselves, sometimes completely, into the lives of others, and in the process it changes us forever…we have now walked in another’s shoes and we will never be the same again. Although it may be argued that a movie will do a similar thing, the difference between reading a story and watching a story, is that a reader must go that extra mile and play the movie in their head, their way, with only the writer’s word to prompt the screen inside the mind.
As writers, we hold the world in the palms of our hands and, like all projections, how we do it is what counts. Happy writing!
