It's Wednesday. Let's go walkabout.
(I'm bringing along a few of my mates as I wander through the vast wilderness of the publishing industry, learning the ins and outs, and having a grand adventure.)Walkabout, Week 53:
Words of Wisdom for Writers
"Every writer I know has trouble writing." --Joseph Heller
"Sit down and put down everything that comes into your head and then you're a writer. But an author is one who can judge his own stuff's worth, without pity, and destroy most of it." --Sidonie Gabrielle
"A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit." --Richard Bach
"Even the best writer has to erase." --Spanish proverb
"What no wife of a writer understands is that a writer is working when he's staring out the window." --Burton Rascoe
"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." --Douglas Adam
"Writing is an occupation in which you have to keep proving your talent to those who have none." --Jules Renard
"Pay no attention to what the critics say; no statue has ever been erected to a critic." --Jean Sibelius

Sibelius is one of my heroes. I'm totally printing that one out.
