Hi!
Have you ever thought about becoming a writer? Any kind of writer? Book writer. Poetry. Articles. Blogger. Sharing a few inspirational quotes by female writers who have inspired me.
Other writers thought about becoming a writer, before they decided. Something got them started. When they were well on their way, something kept them going.
“When I was about eight, I decided that the most wonderful thing, next to a human being, was a book.”
― Margaret Walker (1915 – 1998)
(Dr. Margaret Abigail Walker Alexander)

― Gwendolyn Brooks (1917 – 2000)

“I speak to the black experience, but I am always talking about the human condition — about what we can endure, dream, fail at, and still survive.”
― Maya Angelou (1928 – )

“You might as well answer the door, my child,
the truth is furiously knocking.”
― Lucille Clifton, Good Woman: Poems and a Memoir 1969-1980
“I don’t write out of what I know; I write out of what I wonder. […] Poetry and art are not about answers to me; they are about questions.”
― Lucille Clifton (1936 – )

“Going to the library was the one place we got to go without asking for permission. And they let us choose what we wanted to read. It was a feeling of having a book be mine entirely.”
― Rita Frances Dove (1952 – )

Book Recommendation : Rebecca's Notebook ... by Daphne Du Maurier
In the mood to curl up on the couch or lie in bed and read a really good book about a really good book?
Author, Daphne du Maurier (1906 – 1989) was home-schooled and also educated in Paris, France. Most of her bestselling novels were set in Cornwall, where she lived for most of her life.
Her novel, "Rebecca", is a dark, moody, mysterious love story!
"The Rebecca Notebook and Other Memories" is a revealing look at how du Maurier wrote this story. It's a book about a really good book! (A book which has been adapted to film more than once. I liked the film version that was directed by Alfred Hitchock, which starred Joan Fontaine. It's a worthwhile addition to one's personal video library.)
