About This Quote
This quote is a reminder to writers: Write in the morning, revise in the afternoon, read at night and spend the rest of your time exercising your diplomacy, stealth and charm. We all know that when we're blocked, we can't write. When we're tired, we can't revise. When we're distracted, we can't read.
And that's why this quote is so important to us. When we don't do our best work, we need to remember to take a time out and recharge.
