&lsquo;Maybe Richard will find another way. Just tell him, Alice. Tell him that his own Confessor never stopped loving him. And that if he can&rsquo;t undo the magic, if he can&rsquo;t return to her then, she&rsquo;ll be waiting for him, in the Underworld. Forever.&rsquo;<br /> -Mother Confessor Kahlan Amnell,<br /> Legend of the Seeker

I am a musician.
I wonder what’s fff?
I hear music everywhere.
I see an orchestra.
I want to play guitar.
I am a musician.

I pretend not to have a dream world.
I feel a thin reed.
I touch the smooth silver keys.
I worry I’ll never perfect it.
I cry “Sing it again!”
I am a musician.

I understand how to read music.
I say I love this piece.
I dream of no more sad songs.
I try to play my best.
I hope my last song is happy.
I am a musician.

I wrote this for a class assignment some years ago. I changed it a bit, but not much, so this is a good example of my younger work.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
