If there's a book you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. -- Tony Morrison A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit.
-- Richard Bach
There is only one plot,
things are not what they seem.
-- Jim Thompson
Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts.
You need to start somewhere.
-- Anne Lamott
Never correct or rewrite until the whole thing is done.
-- John Steinbeck
