Today seemed like a beautiful day to share some quotes, therefore I decided to do the logical thing and share some quotes on my blog. (I know, crazy, right?)
“One should use common words to say uncommon things.” -Arthur Schopenhauer
“Read a thousand books, and your words will flow like a river.” -Lisa See
“If you show someone something you’ve written, you give them a sharpened stake, lie down in your coffin, and say, ‘When you’re ready’.” – David Mitchell
“There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never quite know where they’ll take you.” – Beatrix Potter
“I know I was writing stories when I was five. I don’t know what I did before that. Just loafed, I suppose.” – P.G. Wodehouse
“My most important piece of advice to all you would-be writers: When you write, try to leave out all the parts readers skip.” -Elmore Leonard
“People always ask me if I’m into sports, and I say, “Well, isn’t writing a sport? If you’re doing it right, and you have a deadline, you should be sweating.” – Jarod Kintz
“The beautiful part of writing is that you don’t have to get it right the first time, unlike, say, a brain surgeon.” – Robert Conmier
I love all of these! Thanks for going crazy. 😉
