Quotes that I have found inspirational and in all honesty a kick in ass to get me moving:

"Feel the fear...and do it anyway" - Susan Jeffers

"I'm not a failure if I don't make it...I'm a success because i tried." Unknown

"Considering how dangerous everything is, nothing is really very frightening!" - Gertrude Stein

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,When the funds are low and the debts are high,And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,When care is pressing you down a bit-Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,And many a fellow turns aboutWhen he might have won had he stuck it out.Don't give up though the pace seems slow -You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than

It seems to a faint and faltering man;Often the struggler has given upWhen he might have captured the victor's cup;And he learned too late when the night came down,How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -

The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,And you never can tell how close you are,It might be near when it seems afar;So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

I found this one day on the internet and it stuck with me. Unfortunately I have no idea on who the Author is.

Quotes about writing I find inspiring and will from now on remember when writing my own fanfic:

Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. Cyril Connolly

For me, writing is exploration; and most of the time, I'm surprised where the journey takes me. Jack Dann

Neither man nor God is going to tell me what to write. James T. Farrell

There are many reasons why novelists write – but they all have one thing in common: a need to create an alternative world. John Fowles

Forget all the rules. Forget about being published. Write for yourself and celebrate writing.

Melinda Haynes

Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer. Barbara Kingsolver

Note: - It has been a while since I have posted anything. At all. The last seventeen months have been...life changing...and finding the time to focus on writing, focusing on anything really has been a struggle, with everything going on, between symptoms of my actual illness and side-effects of my medication.

Previous stories are not abandoned, but I am going to have to take some time to re-work them and find the voice of the stories again.

Current Stories:-

Daughter of the Blood - Grindelwald won the duel that shaped the world. From the shadows of his Dark Empire an orphan rises and tips the scales for no one can deny the power swirling behind those emerald green eyes. And so begins a ruthless game of politics and intrigue, magic and betrayal, where the weapons are hate and love - and the prize could be terrible beyond imagining. - Being revised and rewritten.

Red Threads of Fate - It was supposed to be an easy job. Infiltrate. Investigate. In and out. Except nothing was ever that easy for her. Holly Potter wasn't exactly looking for trouble when she took the job at the Avengers Tower, or at least not the kind of trouble that found her.
