Which I'm pretty sure translates into writer-speak that you should edit your book instead of throwing it out the window when it's giving you grief.“The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it."
~Arnold H. Glasow
And then you can get the book version of this:

Something unique looking with awesome hair that everyone will Ooh! and Ahh! over. And who doesn't want that?
Just be warned that he/she will probably want a cookie. You better take two.
And then set about revising! And NOT throwing your manuscript out the window.

Have an awesome weekend, everyone!
P.S. Thank you so much to Neurotic Workaholic for the Liebster Award! I can guarantee my answers wouldn't be nearly as hilarious as hers were.
P.P.S. I'm at The League of Extraordinary Writers today, talking about using a sense of wonder in speculative fiction. Come hang out! Yes, you can definitely bring your cookie with you.

I LOVE that quote!
Love the bird. On-sight grinnable!
Guess I better go get my MS off the front yard. Wish I would have opened the window first.
I think that is what I looked like when I woke up this morning :)
Great quote - even better picture. I shall keep this in mind.
That's a fantastic quote! Thanks, Peggy!
Haha. Great advice. And I think I'll take a dozen cookies, thank you. :)
Perfect. And yes, my first drafts tend to look like a hatchling. :)
Great quote! That chicken looks a little scary though. I think I'll leave it in the egg!
Happy reading and writing! from Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines
Yes I think we can all reach a place where we feel every word we've written is garbage and should all be thrown out.
Haha! I love that little bird's hair!
What can be said about the fact there are eggs in cookies?
I'm not sure how I feel about that quote at the moment. But it's a good one! :)
Right! You can do it! Edit and then eat a cookie! Repeat as necessary.
:0)
Reading this post makes me want to eat eggs (though perhaps not from that bird in the picture) and cookies. Lots of cookies. :)
And you're welcome for the award! You deserved it.
That quote is awesome. I'm going to have to remember it--and that photo--for the next time I get frustrated! :)
