Writers' Quotes

"I assumed the burden of the profession, which is to write even when you don't want to, don't much like what you are writing, and aren't writing particularly well."

~Agatha Christie

  1. I really need to take this to heart--no more "I just don't feel writerly today" excuses (except when it's 100 degrees and my brain melts. That's an acceptable excuse).

  3. "I used to be an incredible liar. I'm now a simple novelist. Not much has changed."
    I'm not sure why I find that quote to be funny. I simply do.

  4. I'm speaking at a minister's retreat this month on "writing" (I write a blog, journals and have one book out). I'm finding the quotes you have here very interesting and helpful. May use one or two of them. Thanks.
