Today is day 2 for my 3 day quote challenge, and this on is from a very inspiring writer, Ben Okri.
His words are full of wisdom, but this quote helps me to feel ok about my many unfinished writings.

Hello lovely. 🙂 🙂 I’m languishing in the garden, trying to peer at my laptop. Not the wisest occupation, but it’s too nice to be indoors and who else is going to write my walk? Off to an Open Garden nearby after lunch. I imagine you have no end of short stories, Gilly. Hugs, darlin!
I’m scheduling a couple of posts, tidying up and wondering where to walk the dogs in the sunshine this afternoon. I’ve got quite a few unfinished stories, I keep getting stuck!
Enjoy the garden, sounds like a good plan and I hope to see the photos. Bug hugs back to you my lovely xx
That is a great quote and so doable
Oh, excellent! Happŷ Sunday, Gilly!
The photos are saying it nicely. 🙂
Hey lovely Gilly .. thank you so much for thinking of me, I’m flattered. I hope you won’t mind if I decline though … hugs J
I’ve just seen this Gilly, thanks for nominating me, I’ll get right on to it! This quote is great advice for those with writing ambitions who have to work for a living ~ but I’ve found writing short stories quite tricky! 🙂
