Quote I Love: The heck with sugar and spice
Today I finished a rough draft for the short story I mentioned in my Monday post, and I’m really happy with it. Writing isn’t always easy, so when a first draft emerges without too much hair pulling and head banging, it feels really good.

“Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts. That’s what little girls are made of; the heck with sugar and spice.”
– Bethany Hamilton
