I love collecting writing-related inspirational quotes. They're great for motivation when you start getting psyched out by your very challenging (but surmountable!) goal. I'll post new quotes in this thread regularly throughout the rest of October and November. Feel free to add your own, but remember to keep it clean (no curse words or sexual content), since this is an all-ages forum.

"You will never win if you don't try, but I guarantee if you don't try that you will fail. "
