Short and Sweet

On the cover of a writing magazine, I saw the most inspirational quote from Mickey Finnley. She said,"I am a writer, it is my job not to look away."

Fiction or non-fiction, art is inspired by life. Real life with all its bumps, bruises, pimples, bad hair-dos, and dirty looks. Real life with its awkward conversations, stifling moments of embarrassment, stinging insults, and ugly behaviors. Life is rife with material too good to not be true.

I am further inspired to fuel my literary fire with more people watching, eavesdropping on intense conversations, and studies in mundane absurdity.

You should all do the same. Take notes and keep writing!
