Lara McGehee (lcmcgehee) | 5 comments I understand there's no way to edit a quote you've added. If I'd like to modify a quote I put on my author page, would it be easiest to just have someone delete the original so I could then post the modified version instead?

Arenda | 26447 comments Just post here what you want to change / the correct quote.

I only see one quote, so I assume this is the one you want to change: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7177...

Lara McGehee (lcmcgehee) | 5 comments Yes, that's it. I'd like to change it to this:

"I believe one of the important differences between creating literature and just telling a story around the campfire is that in literature you’re recreating the experience of life, not just relaying a ‘this happened, then that happened’ kind of narrative. The specific details and layers of depth that make the world of the story — and what the character is experiencing in that world — as real as possible are elements I love as a reader and, consequently, elements I strive to use effectively as a writer."

(I'd quickly pulled it out a blog post when I set up the page, but looking at it afterwards I realized it would work better in this context to use a slightly abridged version.)

Thank you! :)
