RTW -- Bits of Inspiration
Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's
contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that
begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to
destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.
I love quotes and I have a whole collection of them. I started going through them looking for something to do this post and then I ended up not being able to decide which one I liked best. So here are a few of my favorites:

“Want to know a secret? No one is ever ready. That’s why they call it a ‘leap.’ And if you wait until you’re ready, you’ll wait forever.” ~ My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend
