Be careful who you hang with

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. " Mark Twain (1835-1910)

This seems to be the season for writers. I encounter people everyday who say that they want to write a book. My response is always, "Great idea. Do it." I encourage everyone to do what they've always wanted to do. We never know who will be the next Mark Twain, Wiliam Faulkner, Langston Hughes, or Terry McMillan for that matter. Each of those authors has a different style, but each is great. Be open and excited. It is never too late. Tell your story.
