John Duffy's Personal Ramblings - Take Up the Pen

There are a thousand thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up a pen to write.”

=~ William Makepeace Thackeray

I come back from my trip to Ireland inspired to take up the pen and continue writing my memoir and get busy on a screenplay that has been waiting to come out for a long time.

I was further fired up by my conversation with author James Hayes and both his philosophy and discipline of writing.

I also just checked out a blog by the author of " A Million Miles in a Thousand Years" and I like how he uses his blog to create his next book. I may borrow that technique as well.

So I begin to read memoirs again and I begin to write. There are stories to be be told and stories to be lived......
