Today’s writing quote comes from E. B. White…
Writing is an act of faith, not a trick of grammar.

I post twice a week; Tuesdays are (mostly) about writing and on Fridays I feature quotes about writing. I LOVE comments and always reply. Let's get a discussion going!!

Love it! Sometimes a writer has to faith it until the job gets done.

Great quote, especially when you realize White along with William Strunk, wrote the best damn book on grammar for the writer, ever published.
His work was impecable and he leads by example

Florence,
Since I’m a habitual comma and hyphen abuser I’d probably do well to invest in the grammar book
Did your prize package ever arrive?

Oh, so very true!!!
I think I’ll have to write this down so I can remember it next time I’m in a slump. ^_^

Comfy,
I have countless quotes written on sticky notes all over my desk. That’s partly why I started “quote Fridays”. I figured there had to be others out there who would get inspired by quotes
Happy weekend!
