Many top writers and other artists (yes, it is an art!) earn very good money from doing what they love. To end off this piece, here are two of my favourite quotations, that help keep me inspired, daily .

"What you can do, or dream you can do, begin it; boldness has
genius, power and magic in it."
- Johann von Goethe

"Do what you love, then you'll never have to do a day's work in your life."
Happy writing...creatively, of course!
Craig Lock (Eagle Productions Books)

''Eagles may fly high, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."
"It took me 15 years to find out that I had no talent for writing, but by then I couldn't give it up, because by then I was too famous to give up."
- Robert Benchley

PPS

"Asking a writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamp post how it feels about dogs."
- Christopher Hampton, British writer and dramatist
(Must make a mental note to remember that one... (to pass on to my critics many)
