Short Thoughts for Busy Days

By Annette Rey

Everything I present is geared toward enquiring writers – to stimulate their efforts to become better at the craft they love.

Take a mental break with the following quotes. Exact quotations are hard to pin down – so many reporters, so many conflicting versions…

• We use words to cover our nakedness. Harold Pinter, playwright
• The harder you work, the luckier you get. Ben Hogan, golfer
• Sometimes, to be indispensable is not a compliment; it’s a burden. Dennis Palumbo, writer and more
• The trouble with the world is the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt. Bertrand Russell, writer and more

Look up these guys and study their lives for inspiration – to show yourself that if one person can do all that – you can do all you dream to do!
