    Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott

    "I go back and try to breathe, slowly and calmly, and i finally notice the one- inch picture frame that I put on my desk to remind me of short assignments."

    "E.L. Doctorow once said that "writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way."

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I love books... The last good fiction I read was Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. :flowerforyou: That was too long ago...of course I am taking three college classes currently and constantly have my nose is some sort of book!

    "Thought—he told himself quietly—is a weapon one uses in order to act... Thought is the tool by which one makes a choice... Thought sets one's purpose and the way to reach it."
    -Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

    "Indeed some institutions and leaders acted at times as if this assimilation to the "American race" were more or less foreordained; The U.S. census, for example, counted the foreign-born and the children of the foreign-born as white, but in separate categories from whites whose parents were U.S.born."
