Commitment Quotes
-
A lot of times with novels, you can get a really deep, engaging story, but there's not a lot happening, frankly.

I grew up writing thank-you notes. Real, honest-to-goodness, pen-and-ink, stamped and posted letters. More than simple habit, it's about what the commitment to expressing your thoughts and feelings in writing says about the character of the writer. About the joy such notes bring to the reader.
