Love is a Dream
"I had the best dream last night. I was so happy, content, and in love. But alas, it was only a dream."

Kids - Defined
"I love kids. They’re short, highly emotional people who don’t know anything. They rely on their creativity and imagination to get by in the world. A world, I might add, filled with giants. Amazing feat."
- Arlen Faber from the film "The Answer Man"

You Have Everything (or can anyway)
"Wait. You might have glossed over that last paragraph-perhaps because it's so short but especially because it's so challenging.
What I'm saying is that one person can make a video that reaches fifty million viewers.
What I'm saying is that one person can invent a pricing model that turns an industry upside down.
What I'm saying is that one person-okay, what I really me is you-has everything. Everything you need to build something far bigger than yourself. The people around you realize this, and they are ready to follow if you're ready to lead"
- Seth Godin from the book Tribes: We Need You to Leads Us

Eat at Home, Read the Books
"For the price of a dinner in this town, you can buy all the books. So eat at home and read the books."

The Start of it All
“A commonplace book is a place to collect extracts, poems, aphorisms, etc, for future reference. It is a place to reflect, to bounce ideas around, to observe and record. And that is what I plan to do.”
Chase’s Commonplace Book. September 3, 2004.
This was how I started my original commonplace book four years ago.
Wow, time sure flies! I only wrote 13 entries in between the covers of that book and then I started to record the entries on the computer. Right now, my collection includes 328 entries.
I didn’t record song lyrics when I started this series. I only decided to do so once I started this blog. I wanted to make sure that I would not run out of entries. But the good thing is that I am constantly coming across quotations and scribbling them down somewhere. I then add them to my Word file.
Now I comb through my Word file to find what I want to post up every week. I then try to find a photo to go with the quote and then post that up too.
I’m glad I started this blog. It really is that best way to collect and organize my commonplace book. And who said that a book had to be a book. This format is perfect for it.

Great Answer
Why do you write strong female characters?
Because you're still asking me that question.
