“Go to the edge of the cliff and jump off. Build your wings on the way down.” – Ray Bradbury
We wouldn’t recommend jumping off a real cliff, but the man is clearly talking about writing. We all know it’s risky diving into the Land of Story, but if you’ve got the courage to do it, you’ll be surprised how quickly you’ll learn to fly!
More on the Land of Story later… watch this space…

Beautiful – but scary, too! Those cliffs are high, and you can’t always see where the edge is.

Dear Annabelle, I’m certain if you read my day 3 of the challenge, you saw what I face daily. Memories mixed and confusion that I/m not aware of, almost makes we want to quit. I apologize. I appreciate so much the invitation to the quote challenge.
