If I could make money making armpit farts, I would. But since I can't, I teach. And write.
At X-Feer, we teach how to solve problems not how to write a code because that's the most important thing in coding.
Writing a book is like sliding down a rainbow! Marketing it is like trudging through a field of chewed bubblegum on a hot, sticky day.
I write because my imagination won't let me quit. And because I want to read what I wrote and share what I've written.
If you have a story inside you but don't know where to start, look within and write from the heart, for the heart will never steer you wrong.
Delicious days ahead for solitude and writing and, oh yes, the holiday meal with family. Live with my characters until term starts in 2012!
It is wonderful how much news there is when people write every other day; if they wait for a month, there is nothing that seems worth telling.
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
Writing- the profession in which you stare at a computer screen, stare out the window, type a few words, then curse repeatedly.
I write to be a part of something - a world made up of words and ideas, which are sometimes painfully criticized, gratefully loved and can never be destroyed.
....and on occasion I like to write in pencil, because I need to know that I can erase the words, even if I never do.
For a writer, they say write what you know. As a performer, you find it in yourself, in your heart. You relate to the character. You try to live it, try to have it be real for you.
I try to write down every song that comes to me, even though I know that every song that comes to me isn't a song that I need to sing.
My job is to inspire others to live full lives. Whether I do that through my writing or my actions are one in the same.
I write songs. Then, I record them. And, later, maybe I perform them on stage. That's what I do. That's my job. Simple.
I think like a genius, I write like a distinguished author, and I speak like a child.
There are certain things that are too painful for people to even write about sometimes, and there are certain things that are too hard to read about again.
My grief is that the publishing world, the book writing world is an extraordinary shoddy, dirty, dingy world.
Whenever I have had to write fiction, I've always had to invent a character who roughly has my background.
We are material creatures who spend much of our lives on material pursuits (even building a cathedral or writing a novel requires stone and mortar or paper and ink).
I was in a queer mood, thinking myself very old: but now I am a woman again - as I always am when I write.
