I absolutely love this theme. One of my New Year's resolutions this year was to write the novel I've been toying with for years. These posts have given me the kick up the ass I need to get started!

I know a whole lot of people who SHOULDN'T have been capable of doing what they did- but they did it because they didn't listen to the people who told them they couldn't.
