you’re the story in the making,
and you never know what the

the makers of our own destiny.
And each day is a new chapter,
a new challenge,
a new path,
a new journey.

Adverbs and Dandelions by Stephen King

Silver Birch Press

“I believe the road to hell is paved with adverbs, and I will shout it from the rooftops. To put it another way, they’re like dandelions. If you have one on your lawn, it looks pretty and unique. If you fail to root it out, however, you find five the next day…fifty the day after that…and then, my brothers and sisters, your lawn is totally, completely, and profligately covered with dandelions. By then you see them for the weeds they really are, but by then it’s–GASP!!–too late.”
