I wrote somewhere once, "In writing, I am both lost and found." I can literally lose myself for hours with a pen and a notebook and I learn so much about myself and the world around me in the process. There's nothing like it. (less)

Unfortunately there will always be some troll that will criticize your work, but that is no reason to shy away from it. The world needs your stories. (less)

Dana’s Quotes

“I find myself saying briefly and prosaically that it is much more important to be oneself than anything else. Do not dream of influencing other people, I would say, if I knew how to make it sound exalted. Think of things in themselves.”

“As writers we hold a pen or open a blank page on a screen or punch the keys of a typewriter. Either way we create; we illustrate and our inner cowardice evolves to courage through words. Before we know it the page is no longer blank; because we opened up a bit of our insides, it is stained.”
