Quotes for Writers

"I've got a folder full of rejection slips that
I keep. Know why? Because those same
editors are now calling my agent hoping
I'll write a book or novella for them.
Things change. A rejection slip today
might mean a frantic call to your agent in
six months."

                     - MaryJanice Davidson
"Believe in yourself and in your own voice,
because there will be times in this business
when you will be the only one who does.
Take heart from the knowledge that an
author with a strong voice will often have
trouble at the start of his or her career
because strong, distinctive voices
sometimes make editors nervous. But in the
end, only the strong survive."
                       - Jayne Ann Krentz
I learned to produce whether I
wanted to or not. It would be
easy to say oh, I have writer’s
block, oh, I have to wait for my
muse. I don’t. Chain that muse to
your desk and get the job done.
              – Barbara Kingsolver
"Forget all the rules.
Forget about being
published. Write for
yourself and
celebrate writing."
--Melinda Haynes
Failure? I never encountered it.
All I ever met were temporary
  setbacks. ~ Dottie Walters
No one can write
decently who is distrustful
of the reader’s
intelligence or whose
attitude is patronizing.
- E. B. White
Almost all good
writing begins with
terrible first efforts.
 You need to start
    somewhere

  ~Anne Lamott
"You can approach the act of
writing with nervousness,
excitement, hopefulness, or even
despair—the sense that you can
never completely put on the
page what’s in your mind and
heart. You can come to the act
with your fists clenched and your
eyes narrowed, ready to kick ass
and take down names. You can
come to it because you want a
girl to marry you or you want to
change the world. Come to it
any way but lightly. Let me say it
again: you must not come lightly
to the blank page." - Stephen
King
Inspiration is a
  guest that does
  not willingly visit
  the lazy.
~ Pyotr
  Tchaikovsky
