The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.
One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

I got the last letter of the contraction and the logical letter before it, which game me the last name and then the first name, and then the rest of the puzzle.

If you want on or off the daily cryptogram ping list reply to this post and state your intention: ON or OFF.
Yes, not so bad. I made a real lucky guess on the three letter word that keeps repeating. And then worked on placing the remaining vowels. Author’s last name is also pretty easy, which should lead to their first name.
Fun puzzle, but the premise is faulty (the second half), which leads to a wrong conclusion.
Just go ask Alice.
