Isolation is a dream killer.

Barbara Sher

I believe you can have whatever you really want in this life, in one form or another, sooner or later. All you have to do is take care of your health and be lucky enough to live for a while.

What I try very hard to do is have an hour or so in the morning when I leave the house and don't have my phone with me.

Because honestly for the rest of the day it's just screens, screens, screens.

I have a new method of poetry. All you got to do is look over your notebooks... or lay down on a couch, and think of anything that comes into your head, especially the miseries.

Chuck Palahniuk

My writing process isn't a very organized thing. The actual writing part is a tiny part of my life. I often write in public. I bring my laptop or write freehand in notebooks. Then, I'll read through them while I exercise or walk the dog. The very last thing I do is the sitting alone at the computer part.

Clay Aiken

When I was a kid, the punishment I disliked the most was writing sentences.

My inspiration comes from everywhere, just walking down the street and I never know where it's going to come from, so I keep a notebook with me at all times and the only criteria for anything making it into that notebook is if it stops me in my tracks for even an instant, if it catches my eye or my ear and I just write it down.

It's a simple law of attraction that you get back what you put out into the universe. The more love you give, the more love you attract. The more love you attract, the more love you receive. WHen we put good energy into the world, we feel good. We make those around us feel good.

Demi Lovato

Be certain that you're not modeling yourself after someone, but just being who you are meant to be. Go ahead, be weird because "normal" is boring!
