I Like You, Giving Up, Love You

Sarah Dessen (2004). “Someone Like You”, p.149, Penguin

I think the most important thing is just to write. It sounds so simple, but sometimes it's not. You can get so distracted - -by having to work other jobs, or what other people have to say about your writing - -but the one thing that really matters is that you just keep going, especially when you're working on a novel. It's so easy to get discouraged and give up.
