If you want to use any of this material contact me and there is a very good chance I will say YES.
However, if you just cut and paste into your own blog or whatever and pass it off as your own then there's a very good chance I will find out. Don't fall into the trap of thinking the internet is so vast and expanding so fast (note the fancy internal rhyme)] that no one will know.
Yes!
Double yes! As long as you think of that first draft as writing for yourself. And all those words are still as soft as clay – something you can mould and build on and take whole chunks away.
Well said, and exactly right.

You just have got to be brave enough to start without knowing where you are going.

Thanks Mira
Absolutely true! In only one case I have known where a story would finally take me and that was when I was writing a sequel, but even then I was never sure where the journey to the end would go.
That’s the magic of writing!
Thanks for this great quote. 🙂 — Suzanne
Glad you like it as much as I do.
My favorite quote from Tom Stoddard – “Words are sacred. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones, in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.” Tom Stoppard. thanks for sharing another great quote. @sheilamgood at Cow Pasture Chronicles
