I can't imagine a world without romance or not having stories rattling around in my brain. There are nights when I dream a complete story, and watch them acted out in my head. Those are the times I wake up and grab for a notepad to jot down the important parts - without turning on the light - and hope it's coherent in the morning.

May your muse leave you breathless.

May your pen flow with fire.

May your words rise to spark the soul.

May your heart never tire.
