Thought I would do something a little different today.  So instead of a writing tutorial or advice, I have pulled together a collection of inspiring and amusing quotes from writers.

How many of these are relatable to you?

“The only writer to whom you should compare yourself is the writer you were yesterday” ~David Schlosser

“The pen is mightier than the sword… if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp” ~Terry Pratchett

“Writers see the world differently. Every voice we hear, every face we see, every hand we touch could become story fabric” ~Buffy Andrews
