Writing Life Quote #1

And what, you ask, does writing teach us? First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is a gift and a privilege, not a right.
Ray Bradbury

Writing Life Quote #2

Another drink, another sentence, and the writing continues on. . . .

As a writer, even as a child, long before what I wrote began to be published, I developed a sense that meaning itself was resident in the rhythms of words and sentences and paragraphs...The way I write is who I am, or have become...
Joan Didion

Dubravka Ugrešic
Writing Life Quote #9

As writers we intend to make a difference, to alter people's lives for the greater good. . .this is why we write, to have an impact on society, to put a personal stamp on history. . .Art and literature are the legacies we leave to succeeding generations. We'll be forgotten, but our books and essays, our stories and poems can survive us. . .
Lee Gutkind
Writing Life Quote #10

At least I understood that writing was this: an impulse to share with other people a feeling or truth that I myself had. Not to preach to them, but to give it to them if they cared to hear it.
Brenda Ueland
Writing Life Quote #11

Athletes take care of their bodies. Writers must similarly take care of the sensibility that houses the possibility of poems. There is nourishment in books, other art, history, philosophies—in holiness and in mirth. It is in honest hands-on labor also; I don't mean to indicate
a preference for the scholarly life. And it is in the green world—among people, and animals, and trees for that matter, if one genuinely cares about trees.
Mary Oliver
Writing Life Quote #12

Authors always feel in danger of being abandoned by loved ones. This is a potent fear. Yet it's as inevitable as writer's cramp when we presume to write words for others to read.
Ralph Keyes
Writing Life Quote #13

Be an unstoppable force. Write with an imaginary machete strapped to your thigh. This is not wishy-washy, polite, drinking-tea-with-your-pinkie-sticking-out stuff. It's who you want to be, your most powerful self. Write your books. Finish them, then make them better. Find the way. No one will make this dream come true for you but you.
Laini Taylor

Be brave to share your story! Each of our stories, have a golden treasure for a specific need.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Writing Life Quote #15

Be Visionary ...
R.M. Engelhardt
Writing Life Quote #16

Because.
Everything
worth anything
takes time.
Christy Hall
Writing Life Quote #17

Becoming a writer does not mean words will suddenly flow with perfection from your pen. It takes hard work, rejection, and the willingness to lay everything inside you out for the world to see.
Jason E. Hodges
Writing Life Quote #18

Behind every novel is a greater story of how it came to be published.
T.L. Rese
Writing Life Quote #19

Being blind is the worst possible thing and asking me to read and write no more is torture.
Jessica E. Larsen
Writing Life Quote #20

Beware of being only a writer.
Miranda Paul
Writing Life Quote #21

Blessed are the weird people:
poets, misfits, writers
mystics, painters, troubadours
for they teach us to see the world through different eyes.
Jacob Nordby
Writing Life Quote #22

Book:Sharing of life and experiences with other people.This is lifetime notes for all generations.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Writing Life Quote #23

Books are like horcruxes--without all the evil--because a piece of the author goes into each one.
Ella J. Fraser
Writing Life Quote #24

Books are like rivers, meandering this way and that, but taking us on a steady, flowing course to somewhere different.
Carla H. Krueger
Writing Life Quote #25

Books aren't written, they're rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn't quite done it...
Michael Crichton
Writing Life Quote #26

Books have a unique way of stopping time in a particular moment and saying: Let’s not forget this.
Dave Eggers
Writing Life Quote #27

Bulldogs are wonderful creatures to include in books. Besides their adorable bulldogishness, they provide the writer with a rare chance to use forms of the verb snuffle.
Rachelle McCalla
Writing Life Quote #28

But I did not want to be good. I wanted to be a writer.
Isabel Huggan
Writing Life Quote #29

But if the Busyness = Status equation works, it’s strictly because a social game has emerged wherein relatively privileged, educated people with all kinds of Choice disguise their decisions to be busy as manifestations of the universe’s insatiable demand for their particular prowess. And the rest of us agree to be impressed. It’s a stupid game. We can stop any time.
Tasha Golden
Writing Life Quote #30

But very little of it can do more
than start you on your way to the real, unimaginably
difficult goal of writing memorably. That work is done
slowly and in solitude, and it is as improbable as carrying
water in a sieve.
Mary Oliver
