inspirational(?) quote

So I've been reading a new book series recently (which is probably a bad idea if I can't get my writerly voice disentangled from the voice of another author) and just today found the author's blog. I've come across a quote I thought would be nicely inspirational for NaNoWriMo, and thought I'd share.

Karen Traviss on starting a new book:

Starting a book you've been looking forward to writing is like opening a box of Godiva chocolates. Actually, that's not a good anology in my case, seeing as I'd rather have a nice challenging bag of pork scratchings. And I mean the well 'ard British variety, which rate a 10 on the Mohs scale, not the softer US pork rinds. But I digress. The point is that you embark on a voyage of delicious discovery. Okay, you might lose a dental filling along the way, but the overall effect is one of diverse taste sensations and something truly satisfying to crunch down on.

This is a great quote! I love the sensory details. I will be sure to add it to the list of inspirational quotes that will be posted to the community during November.

And I'll take this opportunity to remind everyone that I'm looking for additional quotations to share! Please post your suggestions here! Thanks!
