Posting will be light while I wrap up some research. Back by popular demand, a few miscellaneous quotes to inspire:

“The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.” ~ Emile Zola (1840-1902)

“You can only find truth with logic if you have already found truth without it.” ~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936)

“The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” ~ Winston Churchill

“The strokes of the pen need deliberation as much as the sword needs swiftness.” ~ Julia Ward Howe

“When a book leaves your hands, it belongs to God. He may use it to save a few souls or to try a few others, but I think that for the writer to worry is to take over God’s business.” ~ Flannery O’Connor
