Quote

In 2004 I began this blog. I don’t mean to be overly dramatic, but it changed my life. Everything that comes after was made possible by this blog.

I just love this quote 😍.

Atwood wrote six posts a week “in utter obscurity” for a year.

I come back to it (and the subsequent link in it) every few months. It inspires me.
