My year in quotes

As a writer, I’ve always been a fan of words. So, for the past couple of years, I’ve taken to writing down quotes that I like in my daily planner. Some of them are from famous people, some are from people who wish they were famous, others are from family and friends, and still others are from writers and singers and characters who feel like friends.

When thinking about an end-of-the-year blog post, I wanted to do something that would capture the silliness, sassiness and complete randomness of the past 12 months, and I figured what better way to do it than by posting my year in quotes.

Some of them aren’t exactly ground breaking. Most are not eloquent. But each was exactly perfect for the moment, and I hope, all together, they make for a nice read.

P.S. - If you happen to find one of yours in the list, I would like to say thank you for helping to make this year one of the great ones.
