Forget Inspiration. Habit Is More Dependable.

People Who Want To Write Either Do It Or They Don't. At Last I Began To Say That My Most Important Talent - Or Habit - Was Persistence. Without It, I Would Have Given Up Writing Long Before I Finished My First Novel. It's Amazing What We Can Do If We Simply Refuse To Give Up.

We Give Our Dead To The Orchards And The Groves. We Give Our Dead To Life.

The Big Talent Is Persistence.

There's No Narcotic Like Exhaustion.

First Forget Inspiration. Habit Is More Dependable. Habit Will Sustain You Whether You're Inspired Or Not. Habit Will Help You Finish And Polish Your Stories. Inspiration Won't. Habit Is Persistence In Practice.
