I found this on YouTube the other day and HAD to share it:
People who know me, like the real, every day me, know that I’m not the warm and gushy, huggy-feely, cry at every tear-jerker type, but this moved me. Scout’s honor.
My favorite quote: The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. –Sylvia Plath
Tell me, writerly friends, which quote(s) struck you?
“Worst enemy is self-doubt.”
Gosh, that one hit home. It’s so true, though, you know?
I liked the “Quantity produces quality” too.
Thanks for sharing this.
I’d like to have some of these in print– like motivational posters that I could look at and ruminate about for a while.
The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and all time
is a good one for blogging.
And Bill Cosby’s “…..the key to failure is trying to please everybody.” — I really need to keep that one in mind.
Thanks for sharing that thought-provoking presentation.

Tossing It Out
I liked the one from Buckminster Fuller. “There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly”. A writer does not tell you they are going to write. They just do it.
I also liked the one from Albert Einstein, “Imagination is more important than knowledge”.
Thanks.
Boy, Laura, I needed this today! So inspiring. The perserverence quote and the Plath quote really hit me in the gut.
Must keep trying!
