One of my favorites is also Mark Twain:<br /><br />"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."Leighnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9096542202337983432.post-2712539694265503542012-06-12T19:38:40.063-04:002012-06-12T19:38:40.063-04:00Lovely irony in the generalization quote.

I especially love the E.L. Doctorow quip. <br /><br />And...speaking of writing a novel-- I was in Beaufort on Friday and saw Kedzie staring at me from the bookstore window. (Great cover, BTW.) On Sunday night I picked it up and ran straight through fifty pages. I LOVE IT! Your characters are so real and your story is pulling me in deeper with every new paragraph. It's just terrific. <br /><br />It's so good that as the author, you are invisible. I am impressed and proud, but mostly thrilled to be in the throes of such a great story.Kim Byerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03058900684142943548noreply@blogger.com
