    “Unfortunately, some family members are so psychotic that no matter how hard you try to forge a healthy relationship, nothing will help. Now that you're an adult, take refuge in the fact that some things are beyond your control. You owe it to yourself to steer clear of people who are harmful to your health.”
    Andrea Lavinthal, Your So-Called Life: A Guide to Boys, Body Issues, and Other Big-Girl Drama You Thought You Would Have Figured Out by Now – A Must-Have Bible for Women in Their Late 20s and 30s

    Julia Cameron
    “Basic Principles:

    1. Creativity is the natural order of life. Life is energy: pure creative energy.

    2. There is an underlying, in-dwelling creative force infusing all of life -- including ourselves.

    3. When we open ourselves to our creativity, we open ourselves to the creator's creativity within us and our lives.

    4. We are, ourselves, creations. And we, in turn, are meant to continue creativity by being creative ourselves.

    5. Creativity is God's gift to us. Using our creativity is our gift back to God.

    6. The refusal to be creative is self-will and is counter to our true nature.

    7. When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity, we open ourselves to God: good orderly direction.

    8. As we open our creative channel to the creator, many gentle but powerful changes are to be expected.

    9. It is safe to open ourselves up to greater and greater creativity.

    10. Our creative dreams and yearnings come from a divine source. As we move toward our dreams, we move toward our divinity.”
    Julia Cameron

    Peter    Cameron
    “What if she was meant to be, or could have been, someone important in my life? I think that's what scares me: the randomness of everything. That the people who could be important to you might just pass you by. Or you pass them by. How do you know...I felt that by walking away I was abandoning [them], that I spent my entire life, day after day, abandoning people.”

    Peter    Cameron
    “People who have only good experiences aren't very interesting. They may be content, and happy after a fashion, but they aren't very deep. It may seem a misfortune now, and it makes things difficult, but well--it's easy to feel all the happy, simple stuff. Not that happiness is necessarily simple. But I don't think you're going to have a life like that, and I think you'll be the better for it. The difficult thing is to not be overwhelmed by the bad patches. You must not let them defeat you. You must see them as a gift--a cruel gift, but a gift nonetheless.”

    William Faulkner
    “Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
    Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
    William Faulkner
