Somewhere along the line, I realized that I liked telling stories, and I decided that I would try writing. Ten years later, I finally got a book published. It was hard. I had no skills. I knew nothing about the business of getting published. So I had to keep working at it. ↗

I believe you are your work. Don't trade the stuff of your life, time, for nothing more than dollars. That's a rotten bargain. ↗
