I once saw a bestselling author tweet that if she didn't have a deadline, her closet would never be organized. I can say the same about my spice drawer. But eventually, you do need to sit down (or stand up, or talk into your iPhone app as you walk) and write. Sometimes you can be on fire and it all comes out. Sometimes you feel like you're shoveling garbage all day. Chances are, with the latter, you come back the next day and see, ah, okay, here is the bit I can use. There is really no magic to it, or no more that comes when you commit. Commit.(less)

Quotes by Nancy Rommelmann  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“. While we might believe that pretty is as pretty does, on some level we want to see youth and beauty as signs of goodness, of innocence. The attractive woman is given a pass. The ugly one gets the chair.”
Nancy Rommelmann, To the Bridge

“The state can’t seem to keep the roads paved; you think we should trust them with life-and-death decisions?”
Nancy Rommelmann, To the Bridge

“It is easy—terribly easy—to shake a man’s faith in himself. To take advantage of that to break a man’s spirit is devil’s work. —George Bernard Shaw, Candida”
Nancy Rommelmann, To the Bridge
