“All you have to do,” Shirley advised, “is write one sentence after another and -- voila! A novel.” ~ from Shrines of Gaiety by Kate Atkinson

"Don't stop doing writing practice. It's what keeps you in tune, like a dancer who does warmups before dancing or a runner who does stretches before running. Runners don't say, 'Oh, I ran yesterday. I'm limber.' Each day they warm up and stretch." ~ Natalie Goldberg
