Megan's fluent in sarcasm, could potentially benefit from a 12-step program for road rage, struggles with a Hot Tamales addiction, loves world travel & fast cars and hates paperwork & being an insomniac. ...more

Measuring success as a writer

The nicely formatted version with pictures is here:

As it has been a year since I published daynight and 2013 is coming to a close, I have been thinking a lot about what constitutes “success� in the publishing industry, whether I have achieved it, and if it matters.

“Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.� —Winston Churc Read more of this blog post »

“Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.”
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

“Words can be like X-rays if you use them properly � they’ll go through anything. You read and you’re pierced.”
