“This is probably the advice I didn’t want to hear, but it’s held true: just keep writing. No path is smooth or certain, but if you focus on your writing, you’ll be happier for it. Also, as much as you can, connect with other writers and readers. From Twitter to Instagram to in-person events, readings, and conferences, book people are the best people, and the more support you can gather and give, the happier you’ll be.”
― Vanessa Lillie

“Why is it that we understand that playing the cello will require work but we relegate writing to the magic of inspiration?”
― Ann Patchett, The Getaway Car: A Practical Memoir About Writing and Life

“I think you have to have faith in people before they earn it. Otherwise it's not faith, right?”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six
