Vince Lombardi

Just like becoming an expert in wine, you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford.

Julia Child

First forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you're inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won't. Habit is persistence in practice.

Octavia Butler
