Welcome, readers!
I hope you've been surviving the winter weather and working on those resolutions for 2019. It's a new year. A new week. A new start. And the possibilities are endless.
Are you feeling encouraged? Excited? Energized? Empowered?
If not, today's post is purposed to put you on the "write" path.
I love quotes. For me they're thought provoking, wise and reflective, and pack a powerful punch succinctly. Wouldn't you agree?
Like seasonings that enhance food, quotes can be used to make for a more pleasurable experience for those who "consume" our work. Use them to tie in the message of a story, emphasize a point, or as an introductory line for an article or interview. They're very multi-functional that way. :-)
"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing."
---Benjamin Franklin
"The greatest revenge is to accomplish what others say you cannot do."
---Anonymous
"Don't regret what might have been. Accept what is and rejoice in what is yet to be."
---Anonymous
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
---Eleanor Roosevelt
"Don't hurry, don't worry and don't forget to smell the flowers."
---T. Rice
"Today well lived, makes yesterday a dream of happiness, and tomorrow a vision of hope."
"Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties."
---Helen Keller
"You don't write because you want to say something. You write because you have something to say."
---F. Scott Fitzgerald
"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you."
---Maya Angelou
"Don't just "write for yourself." That type of self-indulgence should be reserved for your personal journal. Great, effective writing takes the readers' needs into account. Always."
--- Jennifer Brown Banks
Have a great week ahead!
Thanks for reading.

Excellent quotes, thanks for sharing, Jen. They're all inspiring but my favorite might be the last one. ;) It's long been a personal motto (paraphrased in my head, anyway, lol) and something I often tell my writing students.
