Day Three of NaNoWriMo and personally not off to a great start. Here are a few encouraging quotes from fellow authors who struggled to pen impressive prose.
“Any man who keeps working is not a failure. He may not be a great writer, but if he applies the old-fashioned virtues of hard, constant labor, he’ll eventually make some kind of career for himself as writer.”
– Ray Bradbury
“Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending.”
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
“Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work.”
– Stephen King

– John Steinbeck
Keep on writing! 27 days to go!
