Use these quotes to inspire you as a writer. Ponder them, use them to seed your writing. Most of all, simply enjoy.
I've been collecting quotes for years. During June, July and August I will be sharing 7 quotes with you each week to inspire your writing, creativity and just life overall.
Enjoy!
-
“Write what disturbs you, what you fear, what you have not been willing to speak about. Be willing to be split open.” Natalie Goldberg
- “Just as a good rain clears the air, a good writing day clears the psyche.” Julia Cameron
- "Writing and reading decrease our sense of isolation. They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life: they feed the soul. When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again." Anne Lamott
- "My ideas usually come not at my desk writing but in the midst of living.” Anais Nin
- “I now understand that writing fiction was a seed planted in my soul, though I would not be ready to grow that seed for a long time. Sue Monk Kidd
- “There comes a moment when the things one has written, even a traveler's memories, stand up and demand a justification. They require an explanation. They query, 'Who am I? What is my name? Why am I here?” Anne Morrow Lindbergh
- “The road to hell is paved with adverbs.” Stephen King
