I love quotes from writers on writing. I find them inspiring. So I was quite pleased when I came across this post from the No Credentials Necessary blog.
My favorite of her list of quotes:
The best advice on writing I’ve ever received: Finish.” – Peter Mayle
So simple, yet so difficult!

I love the Mayle quote too. And yes, much easier said than done.
The hardest thing for me to do is revise, but finish is a close second.
I found you through January.
I had a PhD advisor who always said the most difficult and important words in any dissertation are: The End. I guess that holds for any project.
Hi Jennifer, and Welcome! I, too, think that idea applies to all sorts of projects.
And Jan, I agree that finishing and revising are about equally hard.... Maybe finishing a revision is the hardest of all!
