A few years ago I was searching for an appropriate quote to post on Twitter for National Writers Day (or something like that), and I came across one that, as a writer, rang true for me. Now, as I'm beginning this blog, it's more pertinent than ever. It's a quote from American Writer, Anne Lamott:
"You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them they should have behaved better."
To me, this isn't just a quote about writing, it's also about integrity and character, two traits I highly value in people. I now have this quote framed and hanging in my home office for inspiration. As you read my blog, please keep these wise words in mind.
