"Do not sabotage your goals with mediocre efforts."
A friend shared this with me today. It reminds me of "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years". Better get to it, then...whatever "it" is.

more blog, less block
This blog is a place to put my thoughts about life and literature, not only to give myself a space to debrief and "think on paper", but also in the hopes that there is some truth here that resonates with you as well.
A quick note: Any reviews I have on here are are not necessarily "literary" in the strictest sense. I'll probably just discuss whether or not I liked the book, more or less.
