I love writers!
They say writers only need one tool, a seat-belt! A grimmer version explains how to write a book, "You just stare at a blank piece of paper until blood pours out of your eyes."Thank you dear writers for:
- The hours you spend alone
- The courage to share your creation
- The joy and wisdom you have given us
- Opening our hearts and minds to new thoughts
- Explaining things I would never understand without you
- Helping me to make it through the night more than once -- a lot more than once
- Making me laugh out loud
- Allowing me to cry when I could not
- Getting me through my childhood
- Teaching me about compassion
- Helping me to learn the "how to" of so many things
- Daring to face the harshest, most snide criticism some people can dish out
- Sharing the secrets of your very soul that your words reveal
- Creating worlds of wonder for us to travel in and characters we remember for life
- Filling me with hope
- Making the would richer, finer, and more accessible to so many people
- Letting me to dare to join your ranks!
