Persistence

[pjthompson]

Random quote of the day:


"One of the things I just told the class was not to worry about things like talent and inspiration and luck because the real ability that you need in writing is the ability to persist, to learn from your mistakes and keep working, even though you're being rejected all over the place."

—Octavia Butler, interview, Marian Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine, 1999
