I seek opportunity … not security.
I do not wish to be a kept citizen.

State look after me.
I want to take the calculated risk;
To dream and to build.
To fail and to succeed.
I refuse to barter incentive for a dole;
I prefer the challenges of life
To the guaranteed existence;
The thrill of fulfillment

WHERE do we find peace?

“Where do we find peace? Peace is in the rosy softness of a new dawn breaking. It’s the sound of the wind across the mountain peak, the quiet and mystical beauty of a snow-flake drifting silence downward to a land blanketed in white. Peace is the elusive Kingdom of the Soul.”

Craig’s Writing Thoughts/Quotes

Write (Writing) in the Zone

Thoughts on ‘The Writing Journey’

Just collecting some of my writing thoughts/quotes (quite a ‘mission’), that I may turn into a book. ‘Oh no’ – not another one, please c!

Following on from

“I make art through writing and words are my tools.”

“I want to write with a sense of wild abandonment ‘power-sliding through life’”

https://craigsbooks.wordpress.com/2018/01/05/i-want-to-write-with-a-sense-of-wild-abandonment-power-sliding-through-life-3/

“If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, will answer you: I am here to live out loud.”

“I don’t want to live a balanced life, I just want to write.”
