Build Your Best Writing Life Quotes

“Your stories won’t appeal to all readers. But if you’re writing a story you want to read, it’s likely that others will want to read it too.”
― Kristen Kieffer, Build Your Best Writing Life: Essential Strategies for Personal Writing Success

“But in truth, what greater fear is there for a writer than to leave their stories unwritten? To never pursue the creative work that brings them so much joy?”

“In truth, your work is original regardless of what you write because you are the one writing it. No one has your mind or imagination. No one shares your exact upbringing, experiences, interests, world view, personality, or beliefs—and each of these factors plays a role in forming your unique writing voice.
This blend of your identity, opinions, and background is what makes your work original. If you take what you love from the stories you consume, mix them with additional sources of inspiration, and write all of it down in the voice that only you possess, you will craft original stories. Even if you're creating work that builds heavily on what's come before, such as fan fiction or genre fiction, your stories are original because you are the one writing them.”
