Monday inspiration

**Is anyone having a problem with the dashboard not showing the blogs you follow? I've been trying to get them back and no luck. Ahhh. I was following lots of people and need the dashboard. Help.**

Thanks for all your comments on Friday. It was a great discussion on language in YA. I will be responding to the comments shortly. I had a great writing weekend. I manage to release 2,000 words from my brain. It's amazing how the second novel goes. I feel like this one is more planned out and I know what to look for when I write. Funny. So, remind me when I'm in revisions of my excitement. Last week many of you bloggers inspired me by your posts, so I figured today I will leave you with some quotes to get the week moving.

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."  Mark Twain
"Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way." E.L. Doctorow

"Experience is one thing you can't get for nothing."  Oscar Wilde
"The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible." Arthur C. Clarke

"The best way out is always through." Robert Frost

"Winners never quit and quitters never win." Vince Lombardi

"This is for writers yet to be published who think the uphill climb will never end. Keep believing. This is also for published writers grown jaded by the process. Remember how lucky you are."- Terry Brooks

"It's never too late to be what you might have been."- George Eliot

"If you've FINISHED writing a novel you are amongst the elite!!! You ARE NOT A FAILURE IF YOU CANNOT LIVE OFF YOUR BOOKS. You only fail by NOT TRYING." Nadia Cornier

“A window of opportunity won't open itself.” Dave Weinbaum

“Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” Thomas Edison

I may have gone overboard. I need inspiration all the time.

How was your weekend?

Any goals for the week?

I plan to just keep writing and hope my brain keeps going. Have a great day!
