throats."

"Writing is like prostitution. First, you do it for the love of it, then you do it for a few friends, and
finally you do it for money."

So Get Naked!
|
|
"I am convinced that anyone can be a great writer if he can only tell the naked truth
about himself and other people. That, a little technique with words and the willingness to bare heart, soul and body,
are really all it takes. But few people know the truth, and fewer have the artistic intent and perhaps ruthlessness to
tell it."
— Clive Barnes

Sounds Easy . . .
|
 |
"When I face the desolate impossibility of writing 500 pages, a sick sense of failure falls on me, and I know I can never do it.
Then gradually, I write one page and then another. One day’s work is all I can permit myself to contemplate."
— John Steinbeck

Totally, Dude!
|
|
"You cannot tell people what to do, you can only tell them parables; and that is what art really is, particular stories
of particular people and experiences, from which each according to his immediate needs may draw his own
conclusions."
-- Ezra Pound
