Words of Wisdom
So, I was digging for quotes for my website, and I found these gems:
Being an author is like being in charge of your own personal insane asylum. ~Graycie Harmon
Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia. ~E.L. Doctorow
Substitute "damn" every time you're inclined to write "very;" your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be. ~Mark Twain
To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the inner music the words make. ~Truman Capote, McCall's, November 1967
Write your first draft with your heart. Re-write with your head. ~From the movie Finding Forrester
It is impossible to discourage the real writers - they don't give a damn what you say, they're going to write. ~Sinclair Lewis
