I have hundreds of good quotes saved in my "Notepad".
So, of course, I have a lot of quotes about writing, but I must say that the following is one of my favorites.
'You might not write well every day ,but you can always edit a bad page.
You can't edit a blank page''.
-Jodi Picoult-
Do you have a good quote about writing to share with us today?

There's one attributed to Ernest Hemmingway that I had as a facebook cover photo for awhile.
"Writing is easy, all you have to do is sit at your typewriter and bleed."

@marlina I like it too. it's one of those "As simple and as hard as that" type of things.

@marlina I didn't have any handy like I thought I did, so I looked up quotes on writing and this one stood out for me because it's what I do.
"If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it."
--Toni Morrison

Unfortunately, no. I need to get back to writing. I have been on a hiatus from it. Have a wonderful Sunday.

Nothing specifically about writing. I like this, though.

That is a very good quote indeed.
The end of the road is but a bend in the road is the one I remember most Marlina.

Nice. She is correct, how can we correct our mistakes if we don't dare to try. There is nothing to correct because we have not tried.
