I Lost An Arm On My Last

And I Have This Little Litany Of Things They Can Do. And The First One, Of Course, Is To Write - Every Day, No Excuses. It's So Easy To Make Excuses. Even Professional Writers Have Days When They'd Rather Clean The Toilet Than Do The Writing.

I'm Trying To Speak--to Write-the Truth. I"m Trying To Be Clear. I'm Not Interested In Being Fancy, Or Even Original. Clarity And Truth Will Be Plenty, If I Can Only Achieve Them.

Rejections Are Painful, But Inevitable. They're Every Writer's Rite Of Passage.

All That You Touch You Change. All That You Change Changes You. The Only Lasting Truth Is Change. God Is Change.

Not Everyone Has Been A Bully Or The Victim Of Bullies, But Everyone Has Seen Bullying, And Seeing It, Has Responded To It By Joining In Or Objecting, By Laughing Or Keeping Silent, By Feeling Disgusted Or Feeling Interested.
