Aerodynamically the bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly but the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway.

Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.

A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one.

For every failure, there's an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.

Every achievement, big or small, begins in your mind.

A good goal is like a strenuous exercise - it makes you stretch.

Never give up, because you never know if the next try is going to be the one that works.

For a long time I was cautious of working with my parents because I wanted to feel separate from them in the community. Now there's no more wasting time.

My advice to all new writers - male or female - it isn't easy, but forge ahead and be true to your originality.

The soreness I have is expected. I have total movement.
