"Sometimes I actually hated the book, even while I loved it."
- J.K. Rowling
My favorite quote this week (listed above) is one written by author J.K. Rowling who penned the Harry Potter series. Within her online biography she uses those words to describe her journey writing the first novel.
Three ways to use quotes:
1- Weave them throughout your own book as examples of what your text is claiming
2- Use them as chapter introductions
3- Use them within beautiful vignettes as a take-away bonus for your readers
About authors and quotes...
Strong authors quote well, accurately, without error!
Strong authors are sure to give credit for ideas that are not their own.
Strong authors keep a journal of quotes that they like or that support their ideas. They do this so they don't have to rely on their memories.
Strong authors are usually quoted by others!
