Why not join us for this week’s Writer’s Quote Wednesday from Colleen Chesebro at Silver Threading and share your favorite writers’ quotes, or even one of your own!
Craft your potions with care!
My favorite quote this week is from Dean Koontz. I’ve always loved books about magic, but I’m realizing more and more that I adore and revere the magic of the author’s craft of writing even more.
To be able to write new worlds and fill them with tales and characters that completely capture a reader’s attention seems to me like the most precious form of spell-work!

I fell immediately in love with it, Mel. I have been reading a lot of ‘spell books’ lately, trying to hone my craft!

I love this quote, Wendy! It does feel like magic when all the words come together. Who needs drugs? I get my high from writing––there’s no feeling like it. 😉

I wrote the first scene of my second book yesterday, Vashti. I’d already done some other parts but was having a hard time coming up with a compelling starting point that would hopefully make readers want to keep reading. When I was through with it I was almost bouncing off the walls! You’re right… drugs? Phooey! Who needs ’em? 😀

We two are much alike, I think, Colleen. 🙂 Writing well really does seem to me like the concoction of magic spells.

Great quote, and so true – I love Dean Koontz’s writing.
I also love your quote about magic, in your sidebar – would you mind if I were to use it sometime, on my blog or Facebook? I would credit it to you and link back to your blog.
