" Who put this in your mind, the Devil? He often plants improper desires in women. Women have no reason to write anything at all. They do not take part in great deeds, nor do they think sublime thoughts. These two things are the only proper reasons for writing books. The rest are all vanity, and will lead others into sin. Go home and serve your husband, and thank God that He has made you humble.” I was very discouraged. “Voice,” I said, “you’ve got me a tongue lashing, and I’m sad.” The Voice said, “Keep at it, Margaret. I didn’t think you were the sort of person who gave up so easily.” “It’s really too much for me this time. Everyone’s always telling me what’s impossible, and maybe this time they’re right. No man wants to write down what a woman has to say.” “You just haven’t found the right one yet,” said the Voice. “Keep on looking. "
