Good morning Juicers,

The other day, I decided to spend five hours extracting highlights from recently read books and dumping them into a database (gotta love random spurts of hyperfixation). I make these highlights whenever I come across lines of **chef’s kiss** prose.

As a former corporate analyst, cranking out spreadsheets has unfortunately become second nature. Now as a writer, they do help me stay extremely organized (yay, transferrable skills). And since I’m no gatekeeper, lemme show you what I built. It has a few rows of sample entries so you get the idea.

Each quote is categorized via two sets of tags that you can filter and sort by that drill into why I love it and what element of craft it relates to. The goal is to create an ever-evolving, well-indexed resource that helps me hedge against blah writing.

Tell me, do you also squirrel away sentences in some way?

(P.S. This is a shameless plug, but I was featured on the MFA Writers podcast last week! Give it a listen.)

To more lovely prose,
Jamie
