Everything I need to know about writing I learned from…Audrey Hepburn?

Audrey Hepburn is one of the most famous actresses of all time. Her presence on the screen is unforgettable, and she seemed to move through the world as a sort of luminous being.
She had a pretty tragic childhood (thanks, World War II), and plenty of heartbreak throughout her life, but for all intents and purposes seemed to never lose her vivacity, and her passion for absorbing life and leaving a terrific legacy behind.
She is an inspiration just as a human being, but of course as a creative person who had many gifts that touched people all over the world.
When you’re struggling with your writing, or life, perhaps let yourself hear Audrey’s voice, and let her words permeate:
“Nothing is impossible; the word itself says ‘I’m possible!’”
Believe in yourself – you must do that before asking anyone else to do so, too. You CAN become an author. You CAN write a book. There are no limits.
“Paris is always a good idea.”
If you’re feeling stuck, get out. Is there a place you can go where you can feel relaxed or recharged? Is there a local garden that delights you with its beauty? Do you feel inspired walking about your local bookstore?
“I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.”
Even the luckiest of authors still face roadblocks along the way – rejection letters, a lack of confidence, etc. But it’s so important to keep moving forward. There IS light at the end of the tunnel – your day will come.
"Good things aren’t supposed to just fall into your lap. God is very generous, but He expects you to do your part first."
You can’t become a bestselling author without a book. You can’t make readers’ hearts swell if they have nothing to read.
“Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it’s at the end of your arm. As you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.”
Books have the power to change lives. If you have something to share with the world, it is your goal to share it – whether you’re educating, entertaining, comforting, and/or inspiring.
I believe in you!
To you and your book,
