Hi, friends. Here's the second installment of Writing Quotes. I wanted to mention that, though I try to verify the various quotes and sources, I don't always get it right. If you happen to notice that the quote I provided was merely a paraphrase of what was really said, or that I attributed the wrong source with the quote, please let me know. Thank you.

I'm trying something new here, friends. I've come across so many great quotes on writing and English that I thought I'd start sharing some of them with you. Not all of them represent my personal views on the writing business. I hope that some of these will help to begin a conversation on their content.

Please let me know if you like this addition to Kanteker's Craft.

Regards,

Michael Colwill
