Day #28 Quotes for Writers

“When a book leaves your hands, it belongs to God. He may use it to save a few souls or to try a few others, but I think that for the writer to worry is to take over God’s business.” Flannery O’Connor

It’s wise to remember that our job is to write. We are to put in writing the words we are given. That is all.
What happens to our writing once we’ve obeyed is up to God.
Maybe it will be published and affect millions of lives.
Maybe it will be published and affect a few key people.
Maybe it’s just for us.
It is not for us to take on the care of what happens once a work leaves our hands. It’s not for us to worry whether it is received with accolades or criticism.
Our only job is to obey and write.
