Life Quote by Stephanie Morrill
““Right? Or is writing like everything else in my life where I don't quite measure up? Loved, but not quite the Gabrielle they had in mind. Fine for hanging out and talking with, but not cool enough to include in plans. 'Perfect,' yet not someone to be seen with. Why did I think writing would be any different?””

![“My writing is different. I think it's better. I think it's deeper. But, strangely enough, it covers a lot of the old ground. Maybe it says it in a more sophisticated way ... but I [have written] about basically the same subjects over the years.” quote by Neil Diamond](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/54c/neil-diamond-3621_deeper_my-writing-is-different-i-think-it-s-bet_344104.jpg)
