In this blog, I have posted some quotes from the following readings, that really stuck out to me and hold some meaning to myself as a writer. I have also included three quotes of my own that reflect my writing style. Quote #1 “Don’t look back. Yes, the draft needs fixing. But first it needs writing.” (Don Murray) Quote #2 “Be patient, listen quietly, the writing will come. The voice of the writing will tell you what to do.” (Don Murray) Quote #3 “Writing is primarily not a matter of talent, of dedication, of vision, of vocabulary, of style, but simply a matter of sitting. The writer is a person who writes.” (Don Murray) Quote #1 "I write in spurts. I write when I have to because the pressure builds up and I feel enough confidence that something has matured in my head and I can write it down." (Susan Sontag) Quote #2 "Naps are essential to my process. Not dreams, but that state adjacent to sleep, the mind on waking." (William Gibson) Quote #3 "I write my stories in the morning, my diary at night." (Anaïs Nin) Quote #1 "The first draft is the child's draft, where you let it all pour out and then let it romp all over the place, knowing that no one is going to see it and that you can shape it later."(Anne Lamott) Quote #2 "Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts." (Anne Lamott) Quote #3 "And writing is about filling up, filling up when you are empty, letting images and ideas and smells run down like water- just as writing is also about dealing with the emptiness." (Anne Lamott) My Quotes Quote #1 "Take a deep breath and let your emotions pour out on the page." Quote #2 "When you fail to find the right thing to say, write." Quote #3 "Don't be afraid to let your vulnerability show in your writing."
