Elie Wiesel:
Write only if you cannot live without writing. Write only what you alone can write.
Sharon O’Brien:
Writing became such a process of discovery that I couldn’t wait to get to work in the morning: I wanted to know what I was going to say.
Sholem Asch:
Writing comes more easily if you have something to say.
Jules Renard:
Writing is an occupation in which you have to keep proving your talent to those who have none.
Stephen Leacock:
Writing is no trouble: you just jot down ideas as they occur to you. The jotting is simplicity itself – it is the occurring which is difficult.
Jack London:
You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.
F. Scott Fitzgerald:
You don’t write because you want to say something, you write because you’ve got something to say.
Here’s another:
“Yes there is a meaning; at least for me, there is one thing that matters – to set a chime of words tinkling in the minds of a few fastidious people.”
-Logan Pearsall Smith
Great quotes! Consider me an open book…I’d be happy to discuss anything concerning my novel or your writing or anything to do with “the craft.”
Oddly, I can’t seem to be able to subscribe to your blog…perhaps I am blogging disabled?
