Quotes
“Put it before them briefly so they will read it, clearly so they will appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it, and above all, accurately so they will be guided by its light.” -Joseph Pulitzer
“Start early and work hard. A writer’s apprenticeship usually involves writing a million words (which are then discarded) before he’s almost ready to begin. That takes a while.” -David Eddings
“Beginning writers must appreciate the prerequisites if they hope to become writers. You pay your dues —which takes years.” -Alex Haley

Your character’s worst nightmare is happening.
You’re nude in town…why?
