I've got two quotes this week, both of which perfectly describe the writing process!
It is perfectly okay to write garbage--as long as you edit brilliantly.
- C. J. Cherryh
Half my life is an act of revision.
- John Irving
Thank heavens for the revision process. This is the part of the process where a book turns from something good (or even not so good) into something absolutely wonderful and special!

Words of the wise indeed, N.J.
Thanks, and have a wonderful day! ;)
*twitch* *shudder* You said the R word. I'm not ready to think about the R word again already.
I thought they were very wise, Red. Glad you enjoyed them.
LOL Charli. Revision is your friends, even if it does want to make you scream and tear out your hair sometimes.
Love the quotes.
Yeah, but I'm always afraid I won't be particularily brilliant during edits. (A good editor helps, too).
Thanks, Michelle.
A good editor is a definitely plus, Lisa.
