She Wanted to Write a Book / Art Canvas Print

For the "not-to-be-deterred" writer. You KNOW what it takes to get a book done. This little piece of art tells the world that books aren't born from wishful thinking, but from hard work, from saying "no" to distractions and saying "yes!" to your dream! Perfect for the author, writer, graduate in your life! Actual text: "She wanted to write a book, she said. Some people gave her lots of encouragement and others thought yeah-yeah, a pipe dream and still others leaned in and confided that they, too, were writing a book-and had been tinkering with it for like, 30 years-but it was perfect and brilliant and when they were done it would undoubtedly be a #1 Bestseller. A few people tossed ideas her way (as if they were giving her a great gift) and said you can use my idea it if you want, not realizing ideas are dime a dozen, nothing more than a sparkly thing, something to play with, but not something she’d want to hitch up to her particular star. She knew the truth: that a book is forged by hard work and persistence, by fighting with words and plot and staying up late and saying “no” to things she really wanted to do because she wanted to write a book even more. So she listened to all of them and smiled and found a special place (not fancy, but hers) and sat down and WROTE because it was her book and her dream and she made it come true. She did it."
