#WritersCoffeeClub Oct 11
What's a turn of phrase you've 'inherited' from someone else?
In life or in my writing? My sons & I tend to fling Monty Python quotes at each other whenever we get together.
Oh, on two of my book pages on my site, I have this:
"The links below lead to my only authorized vendors. Those who approve of courtesy (at least) to living authors will purchase from these and no others."
Not exactly the same as the original but close. Points to anyone who recognizes it.
