My favorite book is 'To Kill A Mockingbird' by Harper Lee. It is multi-layered, and I see something new in it every time I read it.

Every time I see a cardinal, I know my grandmother is with me. This regal, red bird was Grandma's favorite.

Every time I see something terrible, it's like I see it at age 19. I keep a freshness that way.

Every time I see a live performance of something, I'm like, 'I want to be doing that!'

I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel.

Write every day. Make writing a part of your life, but also don't be afraid of learning from others because I think you can. I still try to think of myself as a beginner because that way I can keep on learning.
