WoW Saturdays

Both "writers on writing" and "words of wisdom" can be shortened with the same word. Thus, welcome to WoW Saturdays, June to September 2011. Enjoy this collection of writers quotes throughout the summer.

What I wish…what I wish is that writers with a sale or two, writers like me who still need day jobs and write when they can, I wish we had champions. We who are not overnight successes, the ones who sell one or two — no one ever followed up. No one ever asked, "So, what else ya got?"

- Jeff Pulice

"We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master."

- Ernest Hemingway

"Writing is a struggle against silence."

- Carlos Fuentes

"The act of putting pen to paper encourages pause for thought, this in turn makes us think more deeply about life, which helps us regain our equilibrium."

- Norbet Platt

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living.  Writing is a kind of double living.  The writer experiences everything twice.  Once in reality and once in that mirror which waits always before or behind."

- Catherine Drinker Bowen
