Welcome back, writers!

Do you use quotes in your writing? A lot of us do, usually at the top of a piece. But quotations can be helpful for inspiration when the well runs dry too. Do you have any favorites? Send them along and we'll get creative together. :-)  Today, I'll start!

None of us are perfect.
I myself am peculiarly susceptible to draughts.
--Oscar Wilde

I accept refreshment at any hands, however lowly.
--W.S. Gilbert

As for this issue of JustMarkets, from turkeys to kids, from hi-tech to no clothes at all, there are readers out there waiting just for you.

Good writing everyone!
