Hello, Harvey. Thanks so much for featuring me so prominently in today's post. As you know, I've been systematically collecting quotations for more than a half-century now, and I absolutely love it when writers I respect and admire--like you--find memorable quotations in my works and share them with others. I'm now beginning work on next week's issue of my Substack newsletter, and I think you will find the topic of interest: "Writers on Writing." In it, I will attempt to compile The 20 Best Things Ever Said on the Subject of Writing.

For me, Mardy, your opening quote was absolutely memorable. Never mind that I happened to find it before you did. (grin)

I look very forward to seeing your next issue, and I know the small TNDJ readership, all fiction writers with a few poets thrown into the mix, will enjoy it as well. Thanks for the heads-up!

Thanks, my friend. Hope you enjoy the post; I'm already struggling to select the final top 20!

I'll bet it's an enjoyable struggle, though. :-)
