Some of the Quotes I Wish I Wrote but someone else did it before me, random one I remember from 2011, many others written somewhere else, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr…

Perfectionism is self-abuse in the highest order. – Anne Wilson Schaef, Ph.D.

When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching — they are your family. – Jim Butcher

The hoarder will suffer great loss.
Be content with what you have and you will not be disgraced.
Know when to stop and you will be preserved from danger.
Only in this way will you long endure.
– Lao Tzu

“Developing inner values is much like physical exercise. The more we train our abilities, the stronger they become.” Dalai Lama

“ How do you do it? You do it. You write. You finish what you write.
You look for publishers who publish “that kind of thing”, whatever it is. You send them what you’ve done (a letter asking if they’d like to see a whole manuscript or a few chapters and an outline will always be welcome. And stamped self-addressed envelopes help keep the wheels turning.) Sooner or later, if you don’t give up and you have some measurable amount of ability or talent or luck, you get published. But for people who don’t know where to begin, let me offer a few suggestions”— Neil Gaiman
