Aspiring writers out there will really appreciate the following Great Quote, which I first found attributed to Anonymous in a writing manual and later found attributed to Sidney Sheldon.
"A blank piece of paper is God’s way of telling us how hard it is to be God." –Sidney Sheldon

Author: Jimmy Akin
Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

Didn’t he write Valley of the Dolls thirty-some years ago?
“Didn’t he write Valley of the Dolls thirty-some years ago?”
No, that was written by Jacqueline Susann. Sheldon wrote books like Rage of Angels, which were often turned into ’80s miniserieses.
weird… I assumed Sidney Sheldon was a woman!

Only a writer knows how true this comment is. Obviously, I have misjudged Sidney Sheldon. He has depth.
Sidney Sheldon also taught a writing class. I’m not sure if he’s still doing it, though. I wonder if the quote is from one of his books on writing.
