Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments.
My Favorite Quote #4
Take time to write
Always Go Through
As you face obstacles in your life, go through them. Never go around them just because you are afraid. You’re cheating yourself. Going through the obstacles you encounter will help you to garner all the richness that your character has to offer.

Mark’s Favorite Quote #2
You’ve survived 100% of your worst days.
Mark’s Writing Motto #32
Coming of age as a writer begins when you put your first words on paper for someone to read.
Look Deep Within
Instead of waiting for your mind to create a thought, trust in your imagination and let your
emotions guide you to create a masterpiece.
Mark’s Favorite Quote
Anger is a thief that steals precious moments.
Mark’s Musings #31
When the world says you can’t, listen with deaf ears and do whatever it takes to make it happen.
Ask Yourself The Right Question
If you ever wondered,
is it better to live
second by second,
minute by minute,
hour by hour,
day by day,
month to month
or year to year
then you’re asking yourself
the wrong question
Just living is precious in itself
So spend your time wisely
creating memories
that’ll last a lifetime.
Our Ability As Writers…
Our ability as writers
is the gift to tell stories
that mean something to people
We use our words
to empathize,
to empower,
to educate
and to entertain
Writers are real people
with real stories and
their words have real emotions
at the center of it
Our words may be
our experience,
or it may not but
it allows somebody the opportunity
to be changed,
the opportunity to have
their minds expanded or
to get educated in a new way
This form of expression
is the most beautiful and powerful
aspect this craft is capable of
