I think Oscar Wilde is my favourite :-) have a great weekend yourself.
ReplyDeleteI like the Maugham quote, so true. But the vampire cartoon is the best. I cannot relate to vampires or zombies which makes me reveal my age. My grandsons love them however and I notice that so many bloggers have written successful books with the vampire theme, sigh. And then there are the movies. . . . I am so out of touch.
ReplyDeleteThat Maugham quote is practically perfect! :-)
ReplyDeleteThose are great. I really like the three rules of writing!
