    Write to nurture yourself.
    Write to tell us about being you.
    Write to tell us about being human.
    There can never be too many stories. Add to the reservoir.

    A lovely craft book for young writers. I would’ve killed to have read this when I was a teen, trying to find my place within the written word.
