Reflections of a working writer and reader

To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the music the words make. Truman Capote

A Writing Quote

You might have noticed this addition to the site - over there on the right, in the sidebar. It’s a simple and effective little tool, developed by Simple Thoughts for WordPress, but which can also be adapted for use with other blogging software.
This implementation draws on a text file of quotations, about writing or by writers, that I have collected over the years. A quotation is randomly selected every time you reload the site.
If you have an apt writing quote, please send it along and I’ll add it to the file.
