the work of an author

Thought of the Day:
The great thing about being an author is that it's okay to get our ideas from ordinary activities. In fact, we're encouraged to take every-day things and turn them into extraordinary stories. It makes me not feel quite so bad to just sit and watch people pass me by...I'm formulating, really! It's my job! I could talk all day about the wonder of imagination and the joy of watching a story grow and flourish out of nothings, but I don't want to bore you. I'll just go and give you more time to do something useful.

Quote of the Day:
"I just gave you three minutes of your life back."
"Thank you. I'll use them wisely."
--Martian Child, with John Cusack
