Because we visited friends over the weekend whose backyard is a mini-Disneyland, because of the heatwave, because of my son’s excitement over the rocket popsicles I made him, because I napped, read, slept in, let my revisions stew and did not work out, I completely forgot to post my Quote For The Weekend. So here it is. On Tuesday.

If I had to give young writers advice, I’d say don’t listen to writers talking
about writing.
