You Were My Motivation Quotes & Sayings

A writer can't just be well-educated or good at research; to build a living, breathing world with interesting characters, you have to write from the gut.

Infuse your characters with believable emotions and motivations. Infuse your world with rich sensory detail.

On this thanksgiving, I would like to thank that one girl, who never lost hope despite all odds were against her, who always worked, and moved on, despite losing all friends just after leaving school, a time when you need friends the most! Who had immense strength and will-power and so much inspiration inside her that she ended up being happy, satisfied, and successful, all alone.
That one girl who always smiles in the mirror, and says, 'Bitch, you have a long way to go, and you gotta travel all alone, depending upon anyone will make you weak, so buck up, there's a lot you gotta do!' On this thanksgiving, I thank myself, my soul for being so majestically robust!
