Thought for the week...
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away." (Anonymous)
I just read this on a greeting card in a store recently. It struck me that, as authors, this is what we are all about--finding that right mix of words and emotion to create this feeling in our readers. There are a great many things in life which can take our breath away. I know, as a reader, I love this feeling with a really good book; one I just can't bear to put down. It is this feeling that created and nourished my desire to be a writer, to be able to give someone else the great pleasure I get from a really good book. It is what I strive for each and every day, and the goal I hope to one day achieve.
May you experience something today that takes your breath away! Have a wonderful writing week.
