“Writing is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living.” – Catherine Drinker Bowen
“There is nothing harder to estimate than a writer’s time, nothing harder to keep track of. There are moments—moments of sustained creation—when his time is fairly valuable; and there are hours and hours when a writer’s time isn’t worth the paper he is not writing anything on.” – E.B. White
“Writing is like giving yourself homework, really hard homework, every day, for the rest of your life. You want glamorous? Throw glitter at the computer screen.” – Katrina Monroe
“To say that a writer’s hold on reality is tenuous is an understatement – it’s like saying the Titanic had a rough crossing. Writer’s build their own realities, move into them and occasionally send letters home. The only difference between a writer and a crazy person is that a writer gets paid for it.” – David Gerrold
“My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way.” – Ernest Hemingway
