"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies . . . The man who never reads lives only one." —Mark Twain
What is it about writers?
Writers are generous people.
They're eager to share their thoughts and visions.
Writers are inventive people.
They're not afraid to push the envelope
Writers give you the benefit of the doubt.
They strive to keep an open mind.
Writers are the ultimate tour guides.
They take you to places you've never been before.
Let me kindle your imagination.
I am a writer.
