Chip Scanlan, Writer

“Never forget: This very moment, we can change our lives. There never was a moment, and never will be, when we are without the power to alter our destiny.”

Steven Pressfield,
Novelist

That's because, fortunately, writing, like all creative endeavors, is an attributive art. It has a long tradition of taking advantage of the way that greats writers inspire, not only with their stories, but the lessons of art and craft learned along the way.
