" A writer is a writer not because she writes well and easily, because she has amazing talent, or because everything she does is golden. A writer is a writer because, even though there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any sign of promise, you keep writing anyway." - Junot Diaz<br /> <br /> " Overnight Success is almost a myth. Half of this industry is luck, and half is the refusal to quit" - Victoria Schwab
