"Whoever undertakes to set himself up
as a judge of Truth and Knowledge
is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."

This is a powerful reminder, first thing in the morning. As a writer, I must not judge, must seek truth and knowledge, but remember that I can never pose to be their master.
On to the last few chapters of my book, and hopefully, both truth and knowledge would bless me.
No truer words were ever spoken, at least not today. Best of luck with the last few chapters of you novel. May the two muses bless you.
Thanks for the blessings, Chrinda. The minute I saw the post, I knew I had to reblog it. Off to write now.
It is not our place to judge…
It isn’t Alex, but it is hard to remember that when faced with violence, cruelty and meanness. My novel has all of those.
A writer who embarks his work founded on judgement threatens to turn out a sermon rather than a work of literature.
Lee, agree absolutely. Which is why I think empathy is the strongest gift of any writer.
So true. All the best with your book in progress, and hope the harshest judges (yes, some people WILL be judgemental) will find no faults in it.
Moni, thank you so much for stopping by, and your blessings.
Thanks for the reblog and the thoughtful connection to your process. Good engagement to the end!
Thank You, Keith, for your awesome post, which was so relevant to me this morning. I merely reblogged it.
Hi, Damyanti! Thanks for stopping by pendrifter. Wish you the best success with your book in progress. d:)
