Friday Focus - successful writers

"Successful writers are not the ones who write the best sentences. They are the ones who keep writing. They are the ones who discover what is most important and strangest and most pleasurable in themselves, and keep believing in the value of their work, despite the difficulties." --- Bonnie Friedman

Whoo boy is this a good quote for me this week!

Keep on writin' my writerly friends! =)

Happy Friday!

Excellent quote. Especially the part that says we are "the ones who discover what is ... strangest in themselves." Guess I'm not so weird after all :)

Happy weekend,
Jen
