Advice from a bot

I’m doing virtual write-ins during National Novel Writing Month. I did my first one at midnight on November 1st. They’re a lot of fun and a great way to stay motivated. Along with all the human writers, there is a writer-bot that records our writing sprints and gives random advice. (I’m calling the bot “she” because her avatar is female.) She also provides quotes if you ask her to.

This was the first quote she gave me, and I hadn’t heard it before.

“We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.” – Marie Curie

I do believe we all have a gift, but there are lots of other things we can do, so don’t take your gift too seriously, unless you want to.
