500th POST! WOOHOO! Paaaaar-ta-

No! The word 'party' will not be used as a verb in this book store! :D

As my 500th post on the LJ, I just have to say Thank you to all of you! Your comments yesterday made me feel warm and appreciated and just plain fantastic. Thank you.

SO!

Five things that are making me happy today:

1. The following quotes on writing:

You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you. ~Ray Bradbury

The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say. ~Anaïs Nin

If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. ~Toni Morrison

Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer.
~ Barbara Kingsolver

We do not write because we want to; we write because we have to. ~ W. Somerset Maugham

I write for the same reason I breathe - because if I didn't, I would die. ~ Isaac Asimov (these last two courtesy of shirleyann66)

2. The fact that this year the following movies are coming out: Jane Eyre, X-Men: First Class, Priest and Winnie the Pooh. It's gonna be a good year.

3. I'm getting new glasses on Thursday! Cute glasses!

4. I'm making progress on two of my stories.

5. The sun keeps coming out for just a few moments, but it's there.
