"Words to Inspire Writers", a new book for creative users of words everywhere, has just been released by F. C. Sach & Sons, Publishers.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / PRURGENT
A Writing Aid that Inspires, Educates, and Entertains Writers is Now Available
Nothing is more frustrating to a Writer than having to confront a period of Writer’s Block – when the Muse leaves, Inspiration wains, and Frustration just keeps rising. All creative output seems to have become swallowed by a Black Hole, and there is little or no Hope that the situation will ever change…
To those Writers who might be asking, “How can I get motivated to write again?” the solution is now at hand, because the new Independent Press, F. C. Sach & Sons, Publishers, have just launched “Words to Inspire Writers: A perpetual Calendar of classic Writing-related Quotations – on Writers, Writing, Words, Books, Literature, and Publishing – specifically selected to illustrate the Writing Process and to motivate Authors every day”, edited by Gregory Victor Babic, which will provide Motivation for Writers Every Day of the Year.
Specifically selected Quotations (1,100 Quotations, in fact, from over 300 Authors!) for each Calendar Date illuminate all aspects of the Writing Process in this new book:
1. The First Quotation illustrates the Pre-Writing or Preparation Stage (of Thinking and Planning). For example:
"To know how to say what others only know how to think is what makes men poets or sages; and to dare to say what others only dare to think makes men martyrs or reformers - or both."
- Elizabeth (Rundle) Charles (1828-1896)
"Find your own quiet center of life and write from that to the world."
- Sarah Orne Jewett (1849-1909)
"I have learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."
- Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
2. The Second Quotation illustrates the Writing or Creation Stage (of Drafting and Editing). For example:
"Suit the action to the word, the word to the action."
- William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
"A successful book is not made of what is in it, but what is left out of it."
- Mark Twain (1835-1910)
"Proper words in proper places, make the true definition of style."
- Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)
3. The Third Quotation illustrates the Post-Writing or Celebration Stage (of Publishing and Marketing). For example:
"It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process."
- Henry James (1843-1916)
"Damn the age. I'll write for antiquity."
- Charles Lamb (1775-1834)
"To write what is worth publishing, to find honest people to publish it, and get sensible people to read it, are the three great difficulties in being an author."
- Charles Caleb Colton (1780-1832)
Writers will find relevant inspirational quotations (regardless of the stage of the Writing Process they are at), for each and every day of the year, in this classic compendium of wise words, whispered from the graves of the literary dead.

- Linda E Austin, author of Cherry Blossoms In Twilight.
"Answers the questions, 'Who am I as a writer?', 'What does my craft mean to me and to others?', and 'What can I do to better myself as a writer and a human being.'"
