"Please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism. For the record, it's my least favorite quality. It doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind ... amazing things will happen."

"Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends.

Getting happy."
-- Stephen King
