Writing is like being able to put life into a snow globe. It takes the things that are too big and scary and reduces them into a form that I can put away when I want and look at from a distance. It also takes all that’s good in life and captures it into something I can take out when I want and look at close up and keep forever. It makes the bad things into something I can hold…and the good things into something I can hold onto. Both help so much that I need that little souvenir of life.

Here's my own quote:
I am not a writer, I'm a compulsive note-taker of life.
Unfortunately, have had too much life and not enough time for the notes. Hope that changes soon!
Tammy, I LOVE the way you said that!! What an awesome quote!!
