Quote of the Week: “Destiny is a name often given in retrospect to choices that had dramatic consequences.” J.K. Rowling
DMS says
Interesting quotes to think about. Love seeing all the covers an titles. 🙂
~Jess
Mark Noce says
Some catchy titles for sure:) I like the covers too:)
Robert Bennett says
I find I don't actually totally agree with these. Personally, writing it neither exercise nor exploration…it's an escape. A releasing of steam, if you would.
Nick Wilford says
Haven't come across that Terry Pratchett quote before. It's a great one. I've nearly finished the anthology, so I've read all these authors' stories. Excellent work one and all!
Tamara Narayan says
Enjoyed the quotes and I added your new cover/blurb on my post today.
D Biswas says
Love that quote by Stein. So hard to abide by.
Damyanti
Liz A. says
Ah, I do love Terry Pratchett. Great quote. And that title: Almost Adept. Now I'm curious.
The Cynical Sailor says
Thanks so much for featuring the anthology again. I've loved seeing my co-authors' quotes. Cheers – Ellen
Beverly Stowe McClure says
Great quotes. I'm looking forward to reading the anthology as soon as I catch up with what I have now.
Sandra Cox says
These are indeed inspirational.
Have a great one, Lee.
Karen Lange says
Wishing the anthology writers all the best with this collection! Hope you're having a good week! 🙂
Nana Prah says
Congratulations to the Anthology writers.
Juneta Key says
Love the quotes.
Juneta @ Writer's Gambit
Erika Beebe says
I definitely feel inspired now. Thank you so much 🙂
Yvonne Ventresca says
Thanks again for featuring the anthology!
Mason Canyon says
I'm enjoying learning more about these wonderful authors. Thanks for featuring them.
sage says
Good quote, but is the Mark Twain quote really one of his? I rememeber he didn't particularly have a fond time of sailing when he was on the Sandwich (now Hawaii) Islands.
C. Lee McKenzie says
I'd have to check that out. He's purported to have said just about everything!
T. Drecker says
Wonderful quotes from even more wonderful writers. I love the reminders.
C. Lee McKenzie says
I'm glad to have met so many new writers through this anthology.
Spacer Guy says
It takes much effort, logic, wisdom to achieve the upper spiritual calm needed to write a successful book. I will make it so one day.
C. Lee McKenzie says
I'm sure you will.
Susan Gourley/Kelley says
Mark Twain has so many great quotes about writing and life.
Elephant's Child says
Terry Pratchett, Mark Twain, Gertrude Stein… teachers we can still learn from.
Tyrean Martinson says
Thanks for all of your support, C. Lee. Loved the quotes!
Chrys Fey says
I like the Mark Twain quote. It reminds us to DO.
Pat Hatt says
Come it shall indeed as those muscles sure get stretched away with each word we say…or type.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Here's to building those muscles.
J.H. Moncrieff says
I love these quotes, especially Ellen's. Interesting how literally she's taken Mark Twain's advice.
The Cynical Sailor says
I figure that's whey we live on a sailboat – Mark Twain thinks it's a good idea 🙂
Kali Delamagente says
"Sail away from the safe harbor"–this sounds like a great story.
C. Lee McKenzie says
I enjoyed them.
Natalie Aguirre says
Loved all the inspiring quotes. All so true and I need to hear them all. Awesome how you're supporting all these writers, Lee.
C. Lee McKenzie says
They write good stories. You have to support writers like that. 🙂 You do it all the time, Natalie.
DEZMOND says
I agree with Mark Twain!
C. Lee McKenzie says
He's the most quotable man who ever lived–well, almost.
Shady Del Knight says
Hi, Cheryl!
These are excellent quotes, all of them. Mark Twain's is empowering. Gertrude Stein's observation "that creation must take place between the pen and the paper, not before in a thought or afterwards in a recasting… It will come if it is there and if you will let it come” is an exciting concept. Your quote from J.K. Rowling is smart, wise and true. My favorite quote is the one by Terry Pratchett. The journey's the thing, even if you are on an exercise bike that doesn't take you anywhere.
Enjoy your week, dear friend Cheryl!
C. Lee McKenzie says
Ha! Love that Terry Pratchett.
Carrie-Anne says
I keep forgetting about the IWSG anthology. I'll have to write and edit something soon.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Hope this post nudged you into remembering. :-0
L. Diane Wolfe says
It is the regrets of what we didn't do that hit us the hardest in the end.
Thank you again for featuring the authors of Hero Lost this month.
C. Lee McKenzie says
"Should have" is not a good phrase.
Alex J. Cavanaugh says
Think in terms of discovery. I like that!
C. Lee McKenzie says
Good quote.
Barbara Fisher says
Thanks for sharing more about Hero Lost – it certainly sounds interesting.
C. Lee McKenzie says
I enjoyed reading the collection.
