"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter."
-- Rachel Carson

Maya Angelou once shared a powerful insight that resonates deeply within the hearts of many. She highlighted the profound pain that comes from keeping our stories, our truths, untold. Each of us carries a unique narrative, filled with dreams, struggles, triumphs, and lessons. Yet, the fear of judgment, misunderstanding, or vulnerability often silences our voices. But imagine the liberation, the sheer relief of setting your story free. Imagine the bonds that could be forged, the understanding and empathy that could spread like wildfire. Your story has the power to inspire, to heal, to change perspectives, and perhaps even the world. Let's not let fear hold us back. The stories we carry are not just for us but for everyone who finds a piece of themselves in our words. Let's embrace the courage to share, to be seen, to be heard. Because in sharing our stories, we find our freedom.
Reading improves our facility with words. And since words are a writer’s means of expression, is it any wonder that reading is a must for writers if they are to become great? Let’s explore the reading and writing relationship.

"The single greatest lesson the garden teaches is that our relationship to the planet need not be zero-sum, and that as long as the sun still shines and people still can plan and plant, think and do, we can, if we bother to try, find ways to provide for ourselves without diminishing the world." --Michael Pollan
Trilogy! To say I'm proud of this series is an understatement. Now the final chapter is complete I can go on knowing I did the best for my characters. My journey with Malena and Maddy started in 2017 when I had a dream about a family of witches and this is what came from my dream.. the dream of becoming an author. A special shoutout to @authorlilurasloane for all your advice and for doing my ads and book covers.

“If I tell these private thoughts of mine, it is because I know they are not mine alone, and that practically everyone is trying to say the same things and that the writer is only a man who says out loud what other people think or whisper.” ―Eugène Ionesco 📚 #gsbauthorquotes #gsbquoteseugeneionesco #gasstationburrito #books #bookish #booksofinstagram #Bookporn #bookstagram #bookworm #booknerd #bookaholic #booklove #bookquotes #authorquotes #quotes #eugeneionesco #writer #playwright #privatethoughts #whateveryoneisthinking https://www.instagram.com/p/ClcFh8ry6JZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
From LONELY ON THE MOUNTAIN https://www.louislamour.com/novels/lonelyonmtn.htm Logan and his twin brother Nolan were Clinch Mountain Sacketts, almost a different breed than us. They were rough boys, those Clinch Mountain Sacketts, right down from ol' Yance Sackett, who founded the line way back in the 1600s. He settled so far back in the mountains that the country was getting settled up before they even knew he was there. ... "From all I hear handed down," he added, "that Yance was a wild one, and his get are the same. Those boys are rougher than a cob, but if you're in trouble, they'll come a runnin'. They'll build you a fire, lend you money, feed you, give you a drink from the jug, or he'p you fight your battles. Especially he'p you fight battles. Why, ain't one of them Clinch Mountain Sacketts wouldn't climb a tree to fight a bear. ... That was the way it was. If one of us was in difficulties, Logan would come a-runnin', and the least we could do was go see what we could do. He said he needed beef cattle, so we'd take him beef cattle. I don't know what had him treed up yonder, but it must've been somethin' fierce, knowin' Logan. So we'd spent all we had, barrin' a few dollars in pocket, and we were headed into wild, rough country with eleven hundred head of steers. But it wasn't only that Logan was in trouble. It was because a Sackett had given his word. I hear tell that down in the towns some folks don't put much store in a man's word, but with us it was the beginning and the end. There were some poor folks up where we come from, but they weren't poor in the things that make a man. #louislamour #westerns #authorquotes https://www.instagram.com/p/CnnUc1Fvq-_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Today's spotlight on authors quote from our magazine. A writer succeeds if he is a good reader. Then constant practice. Writing is like mathematics – the more you work on mathematical formulae and calculations, the better you become. So is writing. — OBINNA UDENWE Stay up to date by following us on all social pages today!!! #obinnaudenwe #authorquotes #inspirationquotes #librettomagazine #librettopublishers (at Owode Oyo Town) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnl_rLzAKnL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
