Be daring....Don't labor over...works in which every word is to be perfect. Technique holds a reader from sentence to sentence, but only content will stay in his mind.
Thanks Michelle, what a wonderful quote. It's so true too, I can't think of a single book that I haven't read extremely recently where I can remember a specific sentence.

Great quote! I NEEDED to hear that! Genius!!
This is fabulous! I labor over the words so much, but I need to labor over content too. Thanks!
Yes! I'm totally copying this - love it! Thanks, Michelle. :-)
Ooo, that's a good one! And so true--it's the story that holds the reader's interest, not the words.
I agree with this quote and yet there are books I feast upon for their loveliness.
