Do take time to read this excellent article about writing and how to treat our muse. It gives solid advice and thought-provoking statements. We all need encouragement and a fresh look on our writing thoughts and experiences.
Great article, Joanne! I love the quotes especially Twain and Dickens!

The url address in the title goes nowhere. To create a url link going to the article it has to be in the text body using the correct format See formating link bottom right in red to see how.
Here it is: https://hubpages.com/literature/10-Grea … ts-On-Them ![]()
Thank you so much for sharing it on forums, Ann. It's interesting
Blessings!!
I am glad you did it 'Because' I am on my tablet and can't!
Thanks everyone for reading and your positive comments. Much appreciated. Jo.
I am with you, Ann. I would struggle to post links. How much easier it was when we could comment. Thank you for bringing this article to our attention. Joanne includes an inspirational set of quotes.
Sorry about that! I missed the end of it somehow.
I'll get the hang of this one day. If the comments section were still there I wouldn't be doing this in the first place!
Thanks, Misbah, for doing that for me! Much appreciated.
Just to say, too, tsmog, thanks for bringing that to our attention.
Also, I like your 'Poems of Poetry'. Great examples.
To help you regarding syllables, they are simply 'beats' of a word.
What a wonderful article with great advice and quotes. Thank you for sharing this, Ann, Misbah, and Tim for helping.
A great article on truly most important tips for writers. I liked all the quotes which have been wisely chosen. I can't under grade any of those 10 tips. Every quote is a piece of great advice. Thanks to the author Joanne.
And, thank you also Misbah. for sharing that link. Otherwise, I could have missed it.
I enjoyed all of those quotes, Joanne. Thanks Ann for bringing attention to it, and Misbah for giving us the link. As Ann mentioned, it was much easier in the days when we could comment directly on articles. I miss those days!
Thanks to Joann, Ann and Misbah. The quotes and comments cause me to reflect and recommit. I intend to have no excuse, going forward, for not writing.
Thanks, Misbah! Yes, I'm fine thanks. Time out for family but back now.

I am fairly new here. I was so blessed that my 4 new hubs were featured here, but then this hub entitled "Embrace Your Verdict" can't be featured regardless of many edits. Any help? Suggestions will be so much appreciated. Thank and God bless!

I log on every day, and it seems that I always find negative things popping up in the forums. I am sorry that so many people are struggling on HubPages. From SEO issues to having popular hubs unfeatured for a multitude of reasons, it seems very discouraging for any newcomers. When I first got here...

I have had this hub running for a while now and although traffic is ok I wonder if there is anything else I could do to improve it. My Adsense income from this hub is just 0.01 since it started. All comments welcome.

I am still new to Hubpages and have been enjoying a rather successful start. Thank you to those who have voted my articles up and those few of you who have begun to follow me. But I have noticed one thing of late and maybe it is the way it goes but I think it is disrespectful. I have commented on a...
