Some people buy books not to read but to dream, the moment 2-3 sentences read and lost in imagination. Take a paper and begin writing.....
I learned to dream through reading, learned to create dreams through writing, and learned to develop dreamers through teaching. I shall always be a dreamer.
Romance novels are my favorite books to read. I write young adult romances, and am so happy to be promoting this wonderful genre.
It's not like making records is terrible. Still, I do find the writing of the songs and the live shows to be the things that give you the most clear picture of what it's all about.
I pretty much only write by default, because I want to make certain projects so instead of trying to wait and find them, I create them, but I'm not really a writer.
I think the writing of literature should give pleasure. What else should it be about? It is not nuclear physics. It actually has to give pleasure or it is worth nothing.
There wasn't much technical terminology, and then, most academics are not trained in writing. And there is what is probably worse than ever before, the growing use of professional jargon.
Having reached the halfway mark in the alphabet, my prime focus is on writing each new book as well as I can.
I am married to a writer, and this - writing - is an odd enterprise. It's something we both support very strongly.

I'm writing a first draft and reminding myself that I'm simply shoveling sand into a box so that later I can build castles.
To some extent, all authors are a little schizophrenic. We lead most of our lives in solitary confinement, living and breathing the books that we're writing.
If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot. There's no way around these two things that I'm aware of, no shortcut.
...few young poets [are] testing their poems against the ear. They're writing for the page, and the page, let me tell you, is a cold bed.
For me, songwriting is something I have to do ritually. I don't just wait for inspiration; I try to write a little bit every day.
You know, I'm trying to sometimes sit down and write some stories about my childhood and maybe one when I'm an old lady put them out like a book.
I read what I write over and over and make corrections and improvements, until I reach the conclusion that the material deserves to stand on its own.
Through my writing, I have made new friends and continued to learn about this world of ours in all its wonder, with all its challenges.
