A quote on writing and ambition.
My current flip-to is the website of Holly Lisle. I've never read any of her books, but her articles on writing are amazing. I thoroughly recommend checking her site out.
One quote particularly struck me, and so I thought I'd share it with you (and, honestly, for my future self, when I go archive-diving.)
Perhaps I'll never reach the place in my writing where I can touch the soul of a stranger from across the abyss of death. Maybe I don't have in me what it takes to change the world, or to change a life. But I want to live my life knowing that I gave everything I had---and if my reach forever exceeds my grasp, I will not die knowing I could have been more. To me, that is the challenge of writing.
More, it is the challenge of life. - Holy Lisle.
