Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don’t feel I should be doing something else. –Gloria Steinem

@HollieWrites13 Other than procrastination? Lol
Expectations from others. Once I started telling people I write, in came their ideas, wanting to change my stories, and questions on why I'm not done or how much I make. I want to enjoy my writing, not be forced to do what they want

"First forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you're inspired or not. Habit will help you finish your stories, inspiration won't. Habit is persistence in practice." -Octavia Butler

"Writing problems are psychological problems. Blocks usually stem from the fear of being judged. If you imagine the world listening, you'll never write a line. That's why privacy is so important. You should write first drafts as if they will never be shown to anyone." -Erica Jong

Writing is 1 percent inspiration, and 99 percent elimination.

"Abandon the idea that you are ever going to finish. Lose track of the 400 pages and write just one page for each day, it helps. Then when it gets finished, you are always surprised." -John Steinbeck

"If you find yourself asking yourself (and your friends) 'Am I really a writer? Am I really an artist?' Chances are, you are. The counterfeit innovator is wildly self confident. The real one is scared to death." - Steven Pressfield

"The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study people, is that in fiction the author can really tell their truth without humiliating himself." -Eleanor Roosevelt

This is me every time I try to come up with a new scene https://t.co/pBAN8r8wyD

[Alexander Pennington @Authoralexp]

Me: Why do terrible things keep happening to my characters??
Brain: Make it worse.
Me: But WHY??
Brain: Make them suffer!

70% of editing is staring at your work and deciding whether to use a comma or a period. The other 30% is denial.

You can't blame a writer for what the characters say...
