"Writing Thoughts"

"The function of the writer is to comment upon life as he/she sees it." (F. Norris)

A successful creative endeavor, shouldn't be measured by a product, but by the change it stirs in the creator. The creative process is not just putting pen to paper or brush to canvas, often it's during the downtime that the best ideas float to the surface. (Barringer)


Relax, take a walk, or just be.
