Unfortunately many young writers are more concerned with fame than with their own work... It's much more important to write than to be written about. ~Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Not familiar with Marquez (I did click on your link to his bio, though), but this is a wonderful quote.
We all would do well if we remembered this concept in all walks of life; humility.
Maquez is right, Getzapped! So very right. And a real writer finds this truth along the way. Hey, have you started your Writers' & Artists' series already? :-)
I enjoy the outdoors, where I gather much of my creative inspiration. I find it necessary to spend time in nature, for balance and sanity. Get Zapped is where I post my photos accompanied by quotes I find intriguing. Get Zen is for sharing my Illustrations, design work, poetry, and other creative outlets. Thanks for stopping by.

I like this! Amen. Like Biko we should just write what we like.
