Thanks to Sally Zigmond for the link to an article which contains what is probably the greatest writing quote ever, from Tim Clare, and which just has to be copied here in bold italics red large font:
Getting published is about practising until you're really good, then persevering until you're really lucky.

ooh thanks for that, going to write that out and stick it to my laptop :-)
That's an excellent quote and one that rings very true! Julie xx
I love it!
Great quote.
:-)
Well, there's the business in a nutshell, isn't it? LOL
I don't know which part is hardest, honestly.
So true.
A positive quote. I put it on my blog.
So true - unfortunately!
I'm going to stick that somewhere that I will see it every day.
Great quote and Sally has a smashing story in next week's Woman's Weekly (which I get early because I have a subscription).
Thanks for this: absolutely brilliant quote!
I think this is the best writing advice I've ever read! Can I borrow it for a library talk I'm doing soon - to have ready for the inevitable question: 'How did you manage to get published?' !!
