Here's mine:
“All writers have this vague hope that the elves will come in the night and finish any stories.”
― Neil Gaiman

Re: Which quote of famous writer would describe you right now?
Here's the quote by J.K. Rowling that pretty much sums up my life: "Anything's possible if you've got enough nerve."

just read the Pratchett Gaiman collaboration "Good Omens"

WOW! what a tour de force, i'm in love
then my daughter suggested "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman

oh lordy, then the gods made love (hendrix reference)
i can now die happy!
might go some Alan Moore for good measure.
so good to see mythology being treated so beautifully, so full of wonder, wonderfully.
oh and a quote that describes me right now?
It's useful to go out of this world and see it from the perspective of another one.
Terry Pratchett

If only I can build up some self confidence, I can achieve the thing that I'm waiting for from so many years.

Re: Which quote of famous writer would describe you right now?
Same here nowadays.. I don't know what it takes to be a writer. I just can't write a single word nowadays. There is some kind of a block while writing or even while reading a book..Lesley_Vos wrote:Exactly!
