Writing Quote Wednesday: Beautiful Things

“Sometimes, beautiful things are not recognized by more than just one or two people. That doesn’t make them less beautiful.”

Have you struggled with your writing? Do you wonder if any agent will ever take it on? Do you wonder if an editor will buy it? Do you wonder if it will ever reach real readers?

I know some of my writing friends and I have struggled with these thoughts. Yet, each of us is creating work. We are creating it, sharing it with each other, and it’s beautiful. Sometimes my critique group members manage to move me to tears with their writing. Sometimes they leave me in awe.

Sometimes only a handful of us have seen that piece of writing.

But that doesn’t make it any less beautiful than if it made the New York Times Bestsellers List.
