Ok, I have to give credit where credit is due. I didn't come up with this all by myself.
Here's how it started.
I'm part of a Writer's Club, where we all meet every week and read stuff that we've written and critique it. Also, we created a little email group, where we can email each other various things.
It was intended to be writerly in nature. It quickly disintegrated into almost everything but. And we email a lot.
Like, seriously. I'm the top poster of all time in the group, and the emails I've sent over the whole time I've been a member has been 3378.
That's a lot.
All of us together have sent out 8714 emails to each other.
After a few months of this, one of my friends decided she was bored enough to go through, read all our emails again, and compile a list of some of the quotable things we've said.
I'm posting part of this list because I don't know if you've noticed, but off to the right, you will see a little column labeled Whimsical Quotes. This is essentially a continuation of that, but not limited to Writer's Club.
Anyway, enjoy some quotes from 11 rather crazy writers.
