““Day dreamers often can become night writers...When young I didn't toy with the concept of a glass half full or half empty. I was blessed if I had a glass at all and if it had something in it...If you only water the weeds in your garden what will you eventually harvest?...You will continue to loose a lot of your future potential if you keep living in the past...When writing I'm glad to be able to give my readers characters they can bond with...An author staring out a window is busy writing. He's thinking about how to say what has never been said before...Is there honesty in written fiction? Often the answer is yes if you know where to look. Try the author's heart...I had to care more about where I was going rather than where I had been. Where I was going would have been impossible if I'd chosen not to do it...I chose to not allow circumstances to decide my future. Indeed I am what I chose to become...A writer can communicate his soul and then edit to soften what he intended, sometimes using metaphors as a way to more gently convey a truth. (Walt Biondi)””
