The more I work on writing, the more I feel like I'm sticking out into new territory, so I like inspiring quotes too. Here's my favorite: “Writing or making anything—a poem, a bird feeder, a chocolate cake—has self-respect in it. You’re working. You’re trying. You’re not lying down on the ground, having given up.” ~ Sharon Olds Nice post for the letter "Q".
Great post! I love this part - "The bright side to failing? It means you showed up." So true!
ReplyDeleteOh, that IS a good one! Failing on a higher plane is indeed what we really keep aiming for with writing.
ReplyDeleteSo very true.
DeleteI love quotes of note too.
ReplyDeleteThey are so inspirational. It would be wonderful to be someone who utters brilliance. ;)
DeleteGreat quote. And you're right, the only ones who don't fail are the ones who don't try.

ReplyDeleteThat is a good quote. Even if you failed, at least you tried! That's better than letting the opportunity pass you by.
ReplyDeleteHahaha. I am great at failing. I'm on my third novel and hoping to garner more rejections than ever (2 so far).
ReplyDeleteI love this quote. I will definitely try failing better.
ReplyDeleteA very inspirational quote. Looking forward to more from you. :)
