So I just got a call from my friend who’s a writer and who is having a bit of an existential crisis right now. I have no really great advice – I mean, I’m not a writer, yeah? – but we are both creative people and I think I know a bit about how she feels. So if you’re reading this right now, my dear, I found these quotes and I hope they will make you feel better:
The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say. ~Anaïs Nin
You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you. ~Ray Bradbury
And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. ~Sylvia Plath
