Encouragement for Friday.
by Todd Foley
“Writing is not like dancing or modeling; it’s not something where, if you missed it by age 19, you’re finished. It’s never too late. Your writing will only get better as you get older and wiser. If you write something beautiful and important, and the right person somehow discovers it, they will clear room for you on the bookshelves of the world—at any age. At least try.”
-Elizabeth Gilbert
This is brilliant. I will have to borrow this to remember on my low days. 🙂
I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for stopping by! Have you heard Elizabeth Gilbert’s TED talk? She has some awesome insights.
No, I haven’t. But I’ll definitely check it out! I don’t have many low days, but even if they’re few and far between, I like to be prepared. 🙂
Amen, amen, amen. Way to be proactive!
I just read a short story by John Updike, who has been going at it for over 50 years now. One can only hope…
Wow. That’s inspiring!
