“Don’t sell yourself short; dare to dream. You might sell to a top market before you ever sell to a non-paying market – you won’t know unless you try. In the same way, it’s good to be cooperative, but don’t be too humble either.” – Rheal Nadeau
“Writing is not a profession but a vocation of unhappiness.” – Georges Simenon
