“Get it down. Take chances. It may be bad, but that’s the only way you can do anything really good.”

✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ Keeping Your Writing Fresh
“Position yourself to succeed by doing the other things in your life that rejuvenate you. You can create little islands of time away from your novel that will help preserve your balance. Exhaustion will affect both your writing’s quality and your productivity.”
✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ Finding the “Mood” of Your Story
“I don’t always know what’s going to go on in terms of the mood of the story. Sometimes I start with the mood, but sometimes I just try to work toward discovering it. But I do think often there’s a mood or unsettling quality, in which the reality of the world seems to be taken away, that I really love, and it’s something that I almost always unconsciously move toward.” ~ Brian Evenson
✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ Developing Compelling Characters
‘Compelling characters are not cogs in the machine of your plot; they are human beings to whom the story happens.” ~ David Corbett
✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ Don’t Let the Rejections Get You Down
“This is a stamina game, so don’t despair if you run down a blind alley and have to start over, or if you get another rejection letter. Every successful writer has gone through that, but they kept writing and didn’t quit until they made it happen.”
✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ Finding a Way to Express What You Feel
“If you have anything to say, anything you feel nobody has ever said before, you have got to feel it so desperately that you will find some way to say it that nobody has ever found before, so that the thing you have to say and the way of saying it blend as one matter–as indissolubly as if they were conceived together.”
✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~The Evolving Nature of Writing
“I don’t really know how writing process happens . . . One of the things I like about the writing process is, I don’t necessarily know where it’s going, and even if I think I know where it’s going, it’ll turn out different. I find that exciting and rewarding.”
~ Richard Thompson
✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ The Changing Landscape of Publishing
“As a writer I have to find platforms that can use this writing process. The internet is one of them.” ~ Paulo Coelho
✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ The Organic Nature of Writing
“My writing process is very organic. I start with an idea. I have the general story arc and the cast. But then I sit down to write, and things change.”
✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ Trusting the Story to Lead You
“The writing process is very much like being in a dark tunnel, and you don’t really know what you will end up with until you have created it.” ~ Emily Haines
