What a wonderful way to celebrate a wonderful writer. To celebrate and remember him, some of his best quotes:

“I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in.”
Robert Louis Stevenson, Essays of Robert Louis Stevenson    

   Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.”
Robert Louis Stevenson


“Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well.”
Robert Louis Stevenson


One my aunt wrote in the autograph book I had as a child -
 “A friend is a gift you give yourself.”
Robert Louis Stevenson


“You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.”
Robert Louis Stevenson


“Wine is bottled poetry.”
Robert Louis Stevenson


“The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish.”
Robert Louis Stevenson


“Everyone, at some time or another, sits down to a banquet of consequences. ”
Robert Louis Stevenson


Fantastic!

NaNovWriMo challenge

I'm having fun stepping up to this year's NaNovWriMo challenge. We're almost half way through the month and I'm picking up some work I started a few years ago. I'm trying to write something every night, though its all too easy to get distracted, like now, updating my blog!
So, its just a short update, so I can get back to my novel....

It's so exciting, writing and letting the novel take you the direction it wants to go. It takes on a life of its own. Who knows where it will end up?
