Writing is such a beautiful art form. I love to read in order to get inspired and then write all my thoughts down. It’s so rewarding for me to sit down and write out all my thoughts and ideas, while also getting these posts out to you. Writing can be rewarding but it can also be difficult, stressful and strenuous. How do you describe real life experiences? How do you put things down into words? It’s a task but one that speaks to millions of people out there. Are you a writer and need some inspiration? Here are some famous quotes on writing to help you get through and inspire your process.
“To gain your own voice, you have to forget about having it heard.” – Allen Ginsberg, WD
“It ain’t whatcha write, it’s the way thatcha write it.” – Jack Kerouac, WD
“I don’t care if a reader hates one of my stories, just as long as he finishes the book.” – Roald Dahl, WD
“About no subject are poets tempted to lie so much as about their own lives.” – Margaret Atwood
“And what, you ask, does writing teach us? First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is a gift and a privilege, not a right.” – Ray Bradbury
“Writing is a delicious agony.” – Gwendolyn Brooks
“Sit down to write what you have thought, and not to think about what you shall write.” – William Cobbett
