I love a good quote. I've added these to my Great Quotes file, so thank you. My 7-year-old son asked me the other day, "What is it you most enjoy to do?" I said, "Writing", so I'm with George Bernau. My son, however, thought that was the funniest thing he'd ever heard!

In reply to ellaquinnauthor. His book Zen in the Art of Writing is sensational, and a must for writers of any genre.

I've printed my favorite quotes on parchment paper & pasted them on the walls of my office. No matter where I turn, I have something to read that inspires me in that moment. 🙂

Whenever I read an author who's so good that I think I might as well give up, I try to get a copy of one of the author's first publications. Reading it generally reminds me that writing is a learning process. Of course, there are exceptions, but not many.

As a former actress rejection was as common as breakfast cereal, and to be honest, it nearly broke me. I lamented on paper in long, funny letters to my sister. When I left NYC and became a journalist, it was the most freeing experience of my life. At last, my art wasn't being shown the door -- the relief was immeasurable. And then I gave up my newspaper job to live with the man of my dreams. Artistic heartbreak all over again when I found that the news industry had nearly dried up. So, I decided to try my hand at fiction -- but not literary fiction -- fiction that editors wanted to buy. A few years later, here I am, having sold two novels while keeping the ticker intact. You're right, Mr. Bell, Mr. Conrad and Mr. Dubus, we shouldn't give up, ever, but it helps to be practical about it.
