some quotes for thought

32 pages, about. I'M HAPPY ABOUT WHERE I AM IN THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW. (Had to write that capital letters, not sure, don't ask me why.) Have the day off tommorrow, and Tuesday I start work at 5pm so this is good. My schedule will be the following: clean room, writing, back to room, back to writing, and as it goes on.

Some quotes for thought, digestion & inspiration--

"You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you." ~Ray Bradbury

"The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say."~Anaïs Nin

"A word is not the same with one writer as with another. One tears it from his guts. The other pulls it out of his overcoat pocket. " ~Charles Peguy

"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

"It is necessary to write, if the days are not to slip emptily by. How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment? For the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is gone; life itself is gone. That is where the writer scores over his fellows: he catches the changes of his mind on the hop. " ~Vita Sackville-West

"Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart. "~William Wordsworth

"The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible."~Vladimir Nabakov

"Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. "~Anton Chekhov

"Being an author is like being in charge of your own personal insane asylum." ~Graycie Harmon
