Elizabeth George on Writers vs. Authors

Welcome to Montgomery Sword's Writing blog!

"Here's the thing about writing: There are writers and there are authors. Writers seek to write, and they seek to write better and better with every book. Authors seek only to be published and they seek advances to match their egos."

from Elizabeth George, Foreword to Sometimes The Magic Works: Lessons From a Writing Life by Terry Brooks p. ix, Random House 2004
