Getting Away…
A book acts as the getaway car when you need to escape. Even when you’re the one writing it.
– Julie Wright
Welcome
The swirl and swing of words
I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions.
—James Michener
Creativity
Creativity is an act of defiance
– Twyla Tharp
Getting the most from life
A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.
– George R. R. Martin
Out of your depth…
Go a little out of your depth, and when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.
— David Bowie
Like driving a car…
Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
—E. L. Doctorow
Wishful thinking
All writers have this vague hope that the elves will come in the night and finish any stories.
—Neil Gaiman
Poisoned by emotion…
I think that to write well and convincingly, one must be somewhat poisoned by emotion. Dislike, displeasure, resentment, fault-finding, imagination, passionate remonstrance, a sense of injustice—they all make fine fuel.
—Edna Ferber
