writing quotes that I love

Writing became such a process of discovery that I couldn't wait to get to work in the morning: I wanted to know what I was going to say. ~Sharon O'Brien

I try to leave out that parts that people skip ~Elmore Leonard

If there is a book you really want to read, but has been written yet, you must write it. ~ Unknown

The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible. ~Vladimir Nabakov

Be yourself. Above all, let who you are, what you are, what you believe, shine through every sentence you write, every piece you finish. ~John Jakes

Writing is am exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go. ~E.L. Doctorow

Writing is a form of personal freedom. It frees us from the mass identity we see in the making all around us. In the end, writers will write not to be outlaw heroes of some underculture but mainly to save them selves, to survive as individuals. Don Delillo
