A Writer’s Toast

May the white page never scare you. May your pen or keyboard flow, with all the magic from your mind, your readers for to show.

May your words be both precise and apt, your descriptions all perceptive. May your arguments be sound and all your scene-setting effective.

May your characters have flavor and their dialogue have wit. May your plotlines thicken, then resolve as you see fit.

May your confidence be balanced with humility and pride. May you succeed in capturing the words that are inside.

And when your book is published, and reviews come back to roost, may the critics be both fair and just, and give your sales a boost!
