The Pen Is Mightier than the Sword (and other Maxims)
Sometimes I feel like poo, and like my writing is even bigger, stinkier poo. Then I remember some of my favorite quotes about writing and being an author, and I feel better and maybe not so poo-like after all.
Since I know a lot of you are authors or aspiring authors, I will share them with you. ♥
"If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that." -Stephen King
"In writing, you must kill all your darlings." -William Faulkner
"If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." -Toni Morrison
"Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing." -Harper Lee
"And the idea of just wandering off to a cafe with a notebook and writing and seeing where that takes me for awhile is just bliss." -J.K. Rowling
"You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you." -Ray Bradbury
"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed." -Ernest Hemingway
