Writing Quote of the Week
I believe in having a structured approach. My philosophy is that I can sit down at any time with a problem, and if I sit there and don’t allow my mind to have distractions — no phone, no music, no television — my mind will eventually start to work on it on its own. It’s like a biosphere situation. I isolate myself — ’cause this is my ‘sit’ time. -Jerry Seinfeld

Writing Quote of the Week
My prediction is that, if you sit a million monkeys at a million typewriters for a million years, you’ll just end up with a lot of monkey junk all over your rebuilt Smith-Coronas—that, and a big banana bill. And they won’t change the ribbons as often as they should—if, of course, at all. So—no Shakespeare, no Hemingway— not even Judy Blume. Now, I don’t have the math or the millions— OR the time—to prove this, but I’m going on record here and now anyway: no Shakespeare. And esp. not—if punctuation counts. So, you know—let me know how that works out. —W. Gregory Stewart
