Autumn morning breezes

Autumn bowed to place a beautiful crown on the Queen of Morning, and her velvet robes sway merrily in the chilly breeze.

—Terri Guillemets

I keep lots of journals, and I have since about age 12. If I’m not reading, then I’m usually writing. It helps keep me sane (’ish). After years of posting some of the excerpts to various pages of The Quote Garden, I’ve had many requests to make my writing available all in one place, so I decided that this will be that place. It will take some time to select and transfer from 30 years of recorded thoughts, so I will post them a few at a time until it’s done. Thank you all for your interest, and I hope you enjoy!

“Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly. Only if you do that can you hope to make the reader feel a particle of what you, the writer, have known and feel compelled to share.” ~Anne Rice
