  9. “You have a book in you that only you can write, Your story matters. Your voice matters. The world will be richer for you seeing this crazy creative escapade through to 50,000 words.” –Chris Baty https://www.diigo.com/list/jgreenjefcoed/na_no_wri_mo @nanowrimo https://www.facebook.com/nanowrimo http://www.pinterest.com/nanowrimo/

  10. Some Favorite Quotes • "There is no good writing, only good re-writing."-Justice Louis D. Brandeis • "If you don't get it on the page you'll still hear the voices in your head."-Jessi Lynn Hamblin • “When asked, "How do you write?" I invariably answer, "One word at a time," and the answer is invariably dismissed. But that is all it is. It sounds too simple to be true, but consider the Great Wall of China, if you will: one stone at a time, man. That's all. One stone at a time." -Stephen King • “The quickest, easiest way to produce something beautiful and lasting is to risk making something horribly crappy.” - Chris Baty • "It's never too late to be who you might have been" -George Eliot
