Quote of the day: (A bunch... enjoy!) Never, ever become a writer. Its a nightmare. Alain de Botton A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom. Roald Dahl When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters. A character is a caricature. Ernest Hemingway The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say. Anais Nin There was a time before I felt I was a real writer, when I was a yarn spinner and I just wanted to tell story until it was over. But then there came a time where I was like, No, I want to understand something through writing this that I might have not understood before. I want people to come away with something to think about. Joss Whedon You dont ever want to go out there and not be the best. You want to be the best cop that you can. Be the best writer you can be. Everybody has their goals. Everybody has their dreams. Bryce Harper To be a writer does not mean to preach a truth, it means to discover a truth. Milan Kundera To be misunderstood can be the writers punishment for having disturbed the readers peace. The greater the disturbance, the greater the possibility of misunderstanding. Anatole Broyard A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears. Gertrude Stein Every secret of a writers soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind is written large in his works. Im a teacher and a writer; my life is words. When I see the denigration of language, it hurts me, and its easy to denigrate a word by trivializing it. Elie Wiesel My favorite literary heroine is Jo March. It is hard to overstate what she meant to a small, plain girl called Jo, who had a hot temper and a burning ambition to be a writer. J. K. Rowling Who is more to be pitied, a writer bound and gagged by policemen or one living in perfect freedom who has nothing more to say? Kurt Vonnegut Two hours of writing fiction leaves this writer completely drained. For those two hours he has been in a different place with totally different people. Roald Dahl The writer operates at a peculiar crossroads where time and place and eternity somehow meet. His problem is to find that location. Flannery OConnor I always tell people that I became a writer not because I went to school but because my mother took me to the library. I wanted to become a writer so I could see my name in the card catalog. Sandra Cisneros The day when I am no more than a writer I shall cease to be a writer. Albert Camus A serious writer is not to be confounded with a solemn writer. A serious writer may be a hawk or a buzzard or even a popinjay, but a solemn writer is always a bloody owl. Ernest Hemingway Im a writer, and I will write what I want to write. J. K. Rowling Thats all, folks! (Sent from my writing desk, listening to my son Mike tell me all about the Pacers game he got to go to last night... to watch them win!)
