Inspirational Quote for “Everyone Has a Book in Them” Seminar
I continue to prepare for my speaking engagements in Nanaimo, British Columbia, April 14th to 21st. As I went over what I’m going to share with participants of the Saturday, April 14th all-day event Everyone Has a Book in Them, I especially enjoyed this inspirational quote from Andre Dubus, author of A Father’s Story:
“Don’t quit. It’s very easy to quit during the first 10 years. Nobody cares whether you write or not, and it’s very hard to write when nobody cares one way or the other. You can’t get fired if you don’t write, and most of the time you don’t get rewarded if you do. But don’t quit.”
—Andre Dubus
How do you like that–10 years! Well, actually, in a way that is inspirational. When I have read the biographies of so many writers and creative people, they have pressed on year after year, before they were successful. And, as this quote says, they may also press on year after year, and get no rewards for their effort.
But, there is always the joy of connecting with one’s inner muse!
