I thought I'd share some cool quotes about writing in case anyone needs some inspiration. Feel free to share any of your own!
- "The way you define yourself as a writer is that you write every time you have a free minute. If you didn't behave that way you would never do anything." - John Irving
- "The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think." - Edwin Schlossberg
- "Inspiration is wonderful when it happens, but the writer must develop an approach for the rest of the time... The wait is simply too long." - Leonard Bernstein
- "A writer is a writer not because she writes well and easily, because she has amazing talent, because everything she does is golden. In my view, a writer is a writer because even when there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any sign of promise, you keep writing anyway." - Junot Diaz
- "Writing a book is like driving a car at night. You only see as far as your headlights go, but you can make the whole trip that way." - E. L. Doctorow
- "Why do writer's write? Because it isn't there." - Thomas Berger
