Quote of the day:
"Don't sweat the small stuff"
G'day guys,
Today you can see some famous faces and some quotes behind their works. Ever wondered what they looked like? Here you go. Notice the way they are dressed, the size of their working desk, their pencils and pens dipped in ink, and the good old typewriters. Mm ... I wrote my first three short stories on a typewriter. Then computers arrived, bought one and let it sit on my study desk for three days before I turned it on. I've never looked back.
John Steinbeck

"I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice,
and then going away and doing the exact opposite."

I'm telling them a story, and I don't want them to get up until it's finished."
