Be thankful for the people who have stood by you and cheered you on, but don't forget to be thankful for the ones that said it could not be done. Writing a book is no small task and even the skeptics can help you get where you want to be! C.K. Webb
About This Quote

The book that you are writing can't be accomplished without help. It takes both inspiration and motivation to get through the process of writing a book. So, it's important to give thanks to people who've given you motivation and inspiration to write your book. But, sometimes you need to remind yourself that it wasn't possible without the people who said you couldn't do it. Those people can be trusted to keep telling you when you're doing something wrong; they will be there every step of the way with your words in hand.
