Some days there are quotes, and every day there are tips for making, and meeting your goals. They are great tips for any goal, not just writing, and I've found that I enjoy this segment very much each day - even though I am not writing a book myself.
5. Verse Of The Day - A simple daily bible verse. No commentary, just the scripture.
Harper Collins had a Daily Devotional I loved, in addition to this. It was a short excerpt from a different devotional book each week. One week was Max Lucado, one was Rosa Parks.. it was excellent! Unfortunately, I can no longer get it to work. :-( There are other devotionals of course, but I have yet to find one I liked as much as that one.
