help, please - gratitude and writing
I am a National Novel Writing Month municipal liaison for my town, encouraging hundreds of folks to write first drafts of novels. One of the ways I help encourage is to post a daily quote from an author. Some are humorous, some profound, some just tell you to slog through it no matter how hard it gets. What is very difficult to find, though, is a quote showing that an author is thankful they can write. And I really want that sort of quote for Thanksgiving.
Last year I posted the Isaac Bashevis Singer quote (from an award acceptance speech):
I am ... thankful to God for each story, each idea, each word, each day.
I'm looking for more quotes of this type.
If you know of any fitting quotes, please post them.
If you're a published author, and are willing to be quoted, please post something fitting.
I appreciate any help you give! Thanks!
