Writer's Write

"To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul."Psalm 25:1

Introspection, loneliness, contemplation and frustration. They are a few of the many melancholy emotions that dominate a penman's mind and

decorate a penman's work.

A pouring out.

If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write things worth reading or do things worth writing. 
Benjamin Franklin

All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.
Ernest Hemingway

A writer needs three things, experience, observation, and imagination, any two of which, at times any one of which, can supply the lack of the others. 
William Faulkner

Write from the soul, not from some notion what you think the marketplace wants. The market is fickle; the soul is eternal. 
Jeffrey A. Carver

Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, and then for money.
Molier

Keep in mind that the person to write for is yourself. Tell the story that you most desperately want to read.
Susan Isaacs

Words are the most powerful drug used by mankind.
Rudyard Kipling

How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.
Henry David Thoreau

Truth is stranger than Fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.
Mark Twain

If I chance to talk a little wild, forgive me.
William Shakespeare

I like writing. It keeps my mind off grim subjects. It's therapeutic in the same way a patient in an institution is given fingerpaints. 
Woody Allen

One of the few ways I can almost be certain I'll understand something is by sitting down and writing about it. Because by forcing yourself to write about it and putting it down in words, you can't avoid having to come to grips with it. You might be wrong, but you have to think about it very intensely to write about it. So I use writing as a learning tool. 

Hunter S. Thompson

In order to fully write, you have to be partially crazy.

Who said it was going to be easy?
