I now finished reading Rarity from the Hollow , and I thought I'd share one more quote, Before I sit down to review this mostly unusual book. This quote really speaks for itself: “Let’s get to work. After beating up on that Welfare Woman, I feel like I could conquer the world. I mean the universe.”

Today I want to share with you a quote from one writer whose work has meant very much to me - Ray Bradbury. When asked about his creative process, here's what Mr. Bradbury had to say:       “Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't "try" to do things. You simply "must" do things.”    Now where have I heard something like this before...

Right now I'm reading a book by Robert Eggleton, called Rarity from the Hollow . It's about a very smart young girl, Lacy Dawn, who is being abused by her father, and who escapes reality with the help of her imagination. This line is from the first chapter. I just love this analogy. It's so simple and precise.   "Don't complain. Complaining is like sitting in a rocking chair. You can get lots of motion but you ain't going anywhere," What about you? What analogies do you use in your everyday life?

This week, inspired by the new season of the X-files , I want to share some of the best lines delivered by our favourite skeptical scientist, Dana Scully. This line is a testimony to great writing and consistent character development. I also find it very inspiring, in science and in everyday life. "Nothing happens in contradiction to nature, only in contradiction to what we know about it."

Sometimes it's fun to start a new book without knowing anything about the plot or the story behind it. That's what I did with  A Dance of Dragons , by Kaitlyn Davis. It's an Epic fantasy series, and the first book is called The Golden Cage.     The heroine is an Ourthuri princess, who is in love with her personal guard. The only problem is that her father - the king - is a ruthless tyrant who likes to maim his servants for fun. There's no way he will let the princess be happy with her true love. She hates him with all her heart. But she loves her little brother - the crown prince. And she can do nothing but watch as the king turns the s...
