"Detail makes the difference between boring and terrific writing. It's the difference between a pencil sketch
and a lush oil painting. As a writer, words are your paint. Use all the colors."--Rhys Alexander
"If you don't have the time to read, you don't have the time or the tools to write." --Stephen King

“People ask me what I do in the
winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window
and wait for spring.”
—Rogers Hornsby
"You can approach the act of writing with nervousness, excitement, hopefulness, or even despair-
the sense that you can never completely put on the page what's in your mind and heart.
You can come to the act with your fists clenched and your eyes narrowed....You can come to it
because... you want to change the world. Come to it any way but lightly.
Let me say it again; you must not come lightly to the blank page. Stephen King
We can give you (our children, our students)
our love but not our thoughts, for you have your own thoughts.
We can try to be like you, but we shouldn’t aim
to make you like us, because life moves on, and you are
like arrows that spring from us into the future
~ a beloved educator
Five For Fighting - "The Riddle (You and I)"
There was a man back in '95
Whose heart ran out of summers
But before he died, I asked him
Wait, what's the sense in life
Come over me, Come over me
He said,
"Son why you got to sing that tune
Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon
Let an angel swing and make you swoon
Then you will see... You will see."
Then he said,
"Here's a riddle for yah
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I..."
Picked up my kid from school today
Did you learn anything cause in the world today
You can't live in a castle far away
Now talk to me, come talk to me
He said,
"Dad I'm big but we're smaller than small
In the scheme of things, well we're nothing at all
Still every mother's child sings a lonely song
So play with me, come play with me"
And Hey Dad
Here's a riddle for yah
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...
I said,
"Son for all I've told yah
When you get right down to the
Reason for the world...
Who am I?"
There are secrets that we still have left to find
There have been mysteries from the beginning of time
There are answers we're not wise enough to see
He said... You looking for a clue I Love You free...
The batter swings and the summer flies
As I look into my angel's eyes
A song plays on while the moon is high over me
Something comes over me
I guess we're big and I guess we're small
If you think about it man you know we got it all
Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball
And I love you free
I love you freely
Here's a riddle for yah
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...

Jordin Sparks "One Step
At A Time"
Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting
[Chorus]
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time
You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting
[Chorus]
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time
When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
It's the faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time
[Chorus]
Take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time
[Chorus]
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time
