Need some inspiration to pick up the pen (or pull out the keyboard)? Here are a few choice quotes about writing that always get me going (taken from http://www.quotegarden.com/ ):
"The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say."
~Anaïs Nin
"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
"If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." ~Toni Morrison
"Substitute "damn" every time you're inclined to write "very;" your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be."
~Mark Twain
"I'm not a very good writer, but I'm an excellent rewriter."
~James Michener
"Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart."
~William Wordsworth
"Easy reading is damn hard writing."
~Nathaniel Hawthorne
"A metaphor is like a simile."
~Author Unknown
"If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn't brood. I'd type a little faster." ~Isaac Asimov
Enjoy and happy writing!
