"The joy of writing is when we can share it with others ."
And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.
Sylvia Plath
I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all.
Richard Wright, American Hunger, 1977
Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.
William Wordsworth
The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible.
Vladimir Nabakov
Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.
Anton Chekhov
"The scariest moment is always just before you start."
Stephen King
"The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one."
Mark Twain
"The idea is to get the pencil moving quickly... Once you've got some words looking back at you, you can take two or three - throw them away and look for others."
Bernard Malamud
"Inspiration usually comes during work, rather than before it."
Madeleine L'Engle
"Get it down. Take chances. It may be bad, but it's the only way you can do anything really good."
William Faulkner
"You fail only if you stop writing."
Ray Bradbury
You have nothing to lose. No one is watching. You're free to experiment, to make a mess, to play, and that's how you'll learn, that's how you'll finally get it right.
