WoW Saturdays

Both "writers on writing" and "words of wisdom" can be shortened with the same word. Thus, welcome to WoW Saturdays, June to September 2011. Enjoy this collection of writers quotes throughout the summer.

I think anyone who hire a freelance editor for a book destined for New York has two problems. #1. They are not artists. Artists believe in their own work and skill and will let no one tamper with it. #2. They have no courage to let their work stand on its merit.

- Dean Wesley Smith

"We are all faced with great opportunities disguised as impossible situations."

- Charles R. Swindoll

"Have something to say, and say it as clearly as you can. That is the only secret."

- Matthew Arnold

My advice for those wanting to write: Declare your goals (I still have that piece of paper with my 11 yr old goal), seek advice, learn the craft of writing at workshops, conferences and school/college classes, and most of all – never give up!

- Sharon Miner
