Write. No amount of self-inflicted misery, altered states, black pullovers or being publicly obnoxious will ever add up to your being a writer. Writers write. On you go.
A.L. Kennedy
Image
Write every day. Writing is a muscle that gets stronger with use.
Abbi Glines

Writers write to influence their readers, their preachers, their auditors, but always, at bottom, to be more themselves.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Write for pleasure and publish for money.
Alexander Pushkin
Image
Writers write about what worries them.

Image
Write. Write until it stops hurting.
Anais Nin
Image
Write because you love the art and the discipline, not because you're looking to sell something.
Ann Patchett

Write whatever way you like. Fiction is made of words on a page reality is made of something else. It doesn't matter how real your story is, or how made up: what matters is its necessity.
Anne Enright
Image
Write as if your parents are dead.
Anne Lamott
Image
Write straight into the emotional center of things. Write toward vulnerability. Don't worry about appearing sentimental. Worry about being unavailable worry about being absent or fraudulent.
Anne Lamott
Image
Write regularly, whether you feel like writing or not, and whether you think what you're writing is any good or not.
Anne Lamott
Image
Writers write about what obsesses them. You draw those cards. I lost my mother when I was 14. My daughter died at the age of 6. I lost my faith as a Catholic. When I'm writing, the darkness is always there. I go where the pain is.
Anne Rice
Image
Write as if you were dying. At the same time, assume you write for an audience consisting solely of terminal patients. That is, after all, the case. What would you begin writing if you knew you would die soon? What could you say to a dying person that would not enrage by its triviality?
Annie Dillard
Image
Write about winter in the summer. Describe Norway as Ibsen did, from a desk in Italy describe Dublin as James Joyce did, from a desk in Paris. Willa Cather wrote her prairie novels in New York City Mark Twain wrote Huckleberry Finn in Hartford, Connecticut. Recently, scholars learned that Walt Whitman rarely left his room.
Annie Dillard
Image
Write about this man who, drop by drop, squeezes the slave's blood out of himself until he wakes one day to find the blood of a real human being--not a slave's--coursing through his veins.
Anton Chekhov
Image
Write only of what is important and eternal.
Anton Chekhov
Image
Write, write, write-till your fingers break.
Anton Chekhov
Image
Writers . . . write to give reality to experience.
Archibald MacLeish
Image
Write regularly, day in and day out, at whatever times of day you find that you write best. Don't wait till you feel that you are in the mood. Write, whether you are feeling inclined to write or not.
Arnold J. Toynbee
Image
Write anything you want because we'll never be heard from again.
Barack Obama
Image
Write to Please Yourself. When You write to Please Others You end up Pleasing No one.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
Write with the learned, pronounce with the vulgar.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
Writers can't write as fast as governments make wars because to write demands thinking.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
Write a true, careless, slovenly impulsive, honest diary every day of your life.
