[A young adult novel] ends not with happily ever after, but at a new beginning, with the sense of a lot of life yet to be lived. ~ Richard Peck
Inspirational Writing quotes by Richard Peck
Turning things over and over in isolation had led me to a certain point, but I knew that to get any further I'd have to voice some ideas aloud, just to see how they sounded. But I certainly didn't go to Ellie expecting any kind of constructive input on her part. It was more that I'd hit a wall and needed someone to talk around the subject with - like when you come up against a problem that's just immune to normal logic. ~ Gavin Extence
Inspirational Writing quotes by Gavin Extence
Slaying dragons, melting witches, and banishing demons is all fun and games until someone loses a sidekick - then it's personal. The bad guy isn't just the "bad guy" anymore, he's the BAD GUY! ~ Michael J. Sullivan
Inspirational Writing quotes by Michael J. Sullivan
I think every writer owes it to themselves to face some harsh truths: in order to make a good impression, you need a unique name. ~ Luke Edley
Inspirational Writing quotes by Luke Edley
Writers, by nature, are going to be slightly more delusional than others because we're dreamers, we imagine the unlikely, that's how we create... Rather than hoping my delusion becomes a reality, I'd prefer to keep on being deluded, to dream bigger and to imagine greater. My greater worry would be becoming less delusional . ~ Rowena Wiseman
Inspirational Writing quotes by Rowena Wiseman
After a few months without writing, months I've lived turned outward ... I fear going deaf, not being able to hear the silence. ~ Isabel Allende
Inspirational Writing quotes by Isabel Allende
Whenever people ask me, "How are your books doing?" or, "How is your book doing?" I just say, "It's okay." I mean, what am I supposed to say? I'm a writer; that means I write because I need to write, because that's how I breathe and that's how I bleed. I'm not an author; I'm a writer. Even when I don't want to write; I can't stop! So, how are my books doing? The hell I know! The moment after I publish one book, I'm writing another one! I don't know how my books are doing! I just know that I'm writing them! I'm a writer, I'm a writer. I'm not an author. ~ C. JoyBell C.
Inspirational Writing quotes by C. JoyBell C.
I write to reach eternity ~ James Jones
Inspirational Writing quotes by James Jones
The great thing about writing fiction is that you can do whatever the fuck you want, go as far as you are willing to go, and laugh at the people who take it seriously. ~ Richard P. Denney
Inspirational Writing quotes by Richard P. Denney
I would rather spend money on something, that fulfills me for eternity. Rather, than something that fulfills me for only an hour or two. ~ Mary Sage Nguyen
Inspirational Writing quotes by Mary Sage Nguyen
Our body does get old, but our spirit, never. If we write well enough, we might even live forever. ~ A.A. Patawaran
Inspirational Writing quotes by A.A. Patawaran
If you want to write a fantasy story with Norse gods, sentient robots, and telepathic dinosaurs, you can do just that. Want to throw in a vampire and a lesbian unicorn while you're at it? Go ahead. Nothing's off limits. But the endless possibility of the genre is a trap. It's easy to get distracted by the glittering props available to you and forget what you're supposed to be doing: telling a good story. Don't get me wrong, magic is cool. But a nervous mother singing to her child at night while something moves quietly through the dark outside her house? That's a story. Handled properly, it's more dramatic than any apocalypse or goblin army could ever be. ~ Patrick Rothfuss
Inspirational Writing quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
God, Himself, wrote the 10 into stone with his own finger. He told the epic of mankind, our origins and our future, in a book. For me, there is no more noble a cause and no more honorable a vocation than to say, like Him, I am a writer. ~ Gerard De Marigny
Inspirational Writing quotes by Gerard De Marigny
Every story you've read, play you've seen, every movie and every television show, every poem you've heard and every song...

All came to live because someone had a story in their mind and had enough courage to put it on paper and share it with the world.

Be brave. Tell your story.

-DS. ~ D.S. Kenn
Inspirational Writing quotes by D.S. Kenn
You can only write what you know if you've lived, otherwise, you'll just be writing words. ~ Joseph Eastwood
Inspirational Writing quotes by Joseph Eastwood
A writer is a word trapped in a person. ~ Victor Hugo
Inspirational Writing quotes by Victor Hugo
Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on. ~ Louis L'Amour
Inspirational Writing quotes by Louis L'Amour
Your words are so powerful that they can break
hearts or fill them with joy. Your words have
the ability to comfort a wounded soul or shatter
someone's confidence. Your words can act as your
messengers of hope or a salve for a broken human
being. ~ Rachel C. Weingarten
Inspirational Writing quotes by Rachel C. Weingarten
Writing is more than a gift. It is a struggle that blesses those who see it through to the end. ~ Nona Mae King
Inspirational Writing quotes by Nona Mae King
Keep working. Keep trying. Keep believing. You still might not make it, but at least you gave it your best shot. If you don't have calluses on your soul, this isn't for you. Take up knitting instead. ~ David Eddings
Inspirational Writing quotes by David Eddings
A man, to be greatly good, must imagine intensely and comprehensively; he must put himself in the place of another and many others; the pains and pleasures of his species must become his own. The great instrument of moral good is the imagination. ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
Inspirational Writing quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley
... but I don't think I'm the only person who is tired of books and movies full of paper-doll characters you don't care about, who have no self-respect and no respect for anybody or any institution ... ..And I don't want to sound preachy or Victorian, but I'm tired of amorality in fiction and in real life. Immorality is a fascinating human dilemma that creates suspense for the readers and tension for the characters, but where is the tension in an amoral situation? When people have no personal code, nothing is threatening and nothing is meaningful. ~ Olive Ann Burns
Inspirational Writing quotes by Olive Ann Burns
Only a writer holds conversations between people that don't exist. We don't talk to ourselves. We talk to people we created from nothing.

Inspirational Writing quotes by Unknown
Do not write a check with your tongue that your actions cannot cash. ~ Neal A. Maxwell
Inspirational Writing quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
Rejection isn't a sign of failure. Rejection is a reminder that there's always room for improvement. ~ Ana Hart
Inspirational Writing quotes by Ana Hart
Fill your papers with the breathings of your heart. ~ William Wadsworth
Inspirational Writing quotes by William Wadsworth
But then why do we write if not to tackle the fears that others look to us to conquer? ~ J.F. Penn
Inspirational Writing quotes by J.F. Penn
The mind of an artist never sleeps, because dreaming is when they do their best work. ~ Mark W. Boyer
Inspirational Writing quotes by Mark W. Boyer
The phrase comes to him before the emotion; but we must add that he is nevertheless a born writer, a man who detests meals, servants, ease, respectability or anything that gets between him and his art; who has kept his freedom when most of his contemporaries have long ago lost theirs; who is ashamed of nothing but being ashamed; who says whatever he has it in his mind to say, and has taught himself an accent, a cadence, indeed a language, for saying it in which, though they are not English, but Irish, will give him his place among the lesser immortals of our tongue. ~ Virginia Woolf
Inspirational Writing quotes by Virginia Woolf
Tomorrow is no hazardous affair, a day like any other day: tomorrow is the result of many yesterdays and comes with a potent, cumulative effect. I am tomorrow what I chose to be yesterday and the day before. It is not possible that tomorrow I may negate and nullify everything that led me to this present moment. ~ Henry Miller
Inspirational Writing quotes by Henry Miller
Write freely and with feeling. ~ Dee Lopez
Inspirational Writing quotes by Dee Lopez
Writing a book is a blood sport. If it doesn't hurt when you're done, you're probably doing something wrong. ~ Kevis Hendrickson
Inspirational Writing quotes by Kevis Hendrickson
Drafting is like painting the Golden Gate Bridge.
The closer you get to the end, the more you start to worry about the beginning. ~ Peter James West
Inspirational Writing quotes by Peter James West
Art is a conversation we are all invited to and are all worthy to participate in. Yes, great works can be intimidating, but no one else in the world has what you have - your voice, your eyes, your feeling and perspective. Other people have written great books, but no one else will ever write YOUR book. It's worth writing. That is the belief that carries me through. ~ Rachel Hartman
Inspirational Writing quotes by Rachel Hartman
An opportunity lost may have motivated us to find a satisfying alternative. Adversity or suffering may have taught us certain important skills. Some writers have felt new appreciation for their lives after surviving a serious illness or disability. A fortunate outcome does not invalidate the unfortunate aspect. ~ Nan Merrick Phifer
Inspirational Writing quotes by Nan Merrick Phifer
Writing is a profession for introverts who want to tell you a story but don't want to make eye contact while doing it. ~ John Green
Inspirational Writing quotes by John Green
First and foremost, I am me. I'm real. I don't write to impress. I write to express. ~ RaeBeth McGee-Buda
Inspirational Writing quotes by RaeBeth McGee-Buda
If you suffer for your writing, don't forget to write about your suffering. ~ Alice Blanchard
Inspirational Writing quotes by Alice Blanchard
In going where you have to go, and doing what you have to do, and seeing what you have to see, you'll dull and blunt the instrument you write with. But I would rather have it bent and dull and know I had to put it to the grindstone again and hammer it into shape and put a whetstone to it, and know that I had something to write about, than to have it bright and shining and nothing to say, or smooth and well-oiled in the closet, but unused. ~ Ernest Hemingway,
Inspirational Writing quotes by Ernest Hemingway,
Imagination, curiosity, passion, creativity these are the words that move me! ~ Samuel Colbran
Inspirational Writing quotes by Samuel Colbran
What do you want to write? What gets your goat? What irks you to no length? If you could change the world with words, what would they be? ~ Lori Lesko
Inspirational Writing quotes by Lori Lesko
Remember, there is no expiration date on your talent. I did not publish my first book until I was 35 years old. If you have a story to tell, it doesn't matter when you tell it. Just get it onto the page and let go of the idea that somehow it's less worthwhile because it took you a little longer to get there than it took others. ~ Leigh Bardugo
Inspirational Writing quotes by Leigh Bardugo
I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. ~ William Faulkner
Inspirational Writing quotes by William Faulkner
The words get easier the moment you stop fearing them. ~ Tahereh Mafi
Inspirational Writing quotes by Tahereh Mafi
Inspiration comes and goes, creativity is the result of practice. ~ Phil Cousineau
Inspirational Writing quotes by Phil Cousineau
The best part of having your dreams come true is you get to make new ones! ~ Jaimie Engle
Inspirational Writing quotes by Jaimie Engle
I realized I was officially a professional writer when all my plans began with "drink coffee" and ended with "take a nap. ~ Cassandra Duffy
Inspirational Writing quotes by Cassandra Duffy
You're not going to write the greatest novel ever written.
Nor will I.
Nor will anyone.
Why? Because the greatest novel ever written is subjective and means something different to every person.
So don't focus on writing the greatest novel of all time.
Instead, focus on writing the greatest novel you've ever written. ~ Sarah M. Cradit
Inspirational Writing quotes by Sarah M. Cradit
The beauty of writing is imagining new endings to a time of darkness, like burning off a morning fog with the heat and clarity of the sun. ~ J.J. Brown
Inspirational Writing quotes by J.J. Brown
If my words are the only power I have, I intend to use them well. ~ Loretta Lost
Inspirational Writing quotes by Loretta Lost
Because word counts don't matter when the words written down are mediocre. And 50,000 that you've forced yourself to write are 50,000 that somebody will feel forced to read. ~ Anonymous
Inspirational Writing quotes by Anonymous
Fantasy elevates ordinary and eternal problems of young people into stories via the language of myth. It turns "No one really knows me" into "I've got a secret identity." It turns "I don't understand why other people act the way they do" into "I'm trapped in a faerie realm." It turns "my high school must have been built over the mouth of hell" into "my high school must have been built over the mouth of hell."
There are certain things in life that are glorious, and they are glorious for everyone. There are more that are hard, and they are hard for everyone. We like to see these things retold, but with dragons. ~ Erin Bow
Inspirational Writing quotes by Erin Bow
I write because I am alone and move through the world alone. No one will know what has passed through me ... I write because there are stories that people have forgotten to tell, because I am a woman trying to stand up in my life ... I write out of hurt and how to make hurt okay; how to make myself strong and come home, and it may be the only real home I'll ever have. ~ Natalie Goldberg
Inspirational Writing quotes by Natalie Goldberg
It's the witching hour once more-
When the Muse comes out to play.
He calls me through that magic door-
Where galaxies of worlds await! ~ Belle Whittington
Inspirational Writing quotes by Belle Whittington
Writing is like a lump of coal. Put it under enough pressure and polish it enough and you might just end up with a diamond. Otherwise, you can burn it to keep warm. ~ A.J. Dalton
Inspirational Writing quotes by A.J. Dalton
Where do you get your ideas? people ask. Sometimes they're at the bottoms of cups of tea. Sometimes they're lurking in my shower. Sometimes they're waiting patiently in glass cases in museums. ~ Erin Morgenstern
Inspirational Writing quotes by Erin Morgenstern
Sometimes I miss the people my characters were before I ruined their lives. ~ Victoria Schwab
Inspirational Writing quotes by Victoria Schwab
Inspiration comes of working every day. ~ Charles Baudelaire
Inspirational Writing quotes by Charles Baudelaire
Before I start a project, I always ask myself the following question. Why is this book worth a year of my life? There needs to be something about the theme, the technique, or the research that makes the time spent on it worthwhile. ~ David Morrell
Inspirational Writing quotes by David Morrell
Some people write to make something ugly beautiful, some write to leave a part of themselves to be remembered, some write to give words soul and meaning, and some write to exist in non-existence. ~ Sam Madison
Inspirational Writing quotes by Sam Madison
You start with the unfathomable and you end with the unfathomable. ~ Ari Aster
Inspirational Writing quotes by Ari Aster
A writer seizes every opportunity to wonder. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Inspirational Writing quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
there are words inside me that don't want to hide anymore.

Perfect or not, they don't want to be safe for much longer.

They want to be free. ~ Gayendra Abeywardane
Inspirational Writing quotes by Gayendra Abeywardane
Life is a cracked surface at best. Fiction is a nice edifice. / every word/sentence/paragraph gives a writer an opportunity to reinforce or deliberately crack the edifice by screwing with meaning, structure, grammar, the fourth wall, etc. / different types and degrees of cracking produce different arrangements of order and chaos. ~ K.J. Bishop
Inspirational Writing quotes by K.J. Bishop
Writing comes from deep within, seeping out of the soul onto the white of paper. It carries with it the lifeblood of the artist, exposing their secrets to the world. ~ Amber E. Box
Inspirational Writing quotes by Amber E. Box
I have always been jealous of artists. The smell of the studio, the names of the various tools, the look of a half-finished canvas all shout of creation. What do writers have in comparison? Only the flat paper, the clacketing of the typewriter or the scrape of a pen across a yellow page. And then, when the finished piece is presented, there is a small wonder on one hand, a manuscript smudged with erasures or crossed out lines on the other. The impact of the painting is immediate, the manuscript must unfold slowly through time. ~ Jane Yolen
Inspirational Writing quotes by Jane Yolen
I would like to carve my novel in a piece of wood. My characters - I would like to have them heavier, more three-dimensional ... My characters have a profession, have characteristics; you know their age, their family situation, and everything. But I try to make each one of those characters heavy, like a statue, and to be the brother of everybody in the world. ~ Georges Simenon
Inspirational Writing quotes by Georges Simenon
The quality which makes man want to write and be read is essentially a desire for self-exposure and masochism. Like one of those guys who has a compulsion to take his thing out and show it on the street. ~ James Jones
Inspirational Writing quotes by James Jones
When asked for advice on how to write a short story, Carlos Cortés responded, No advice. Every writer has to exorcise his own demons. ~ Carlos Cortés
Inspirational Writing quotes by Carlos  Cortés
I write because when I look out at the world...I want to write it. When I look out at the world, I want to help it; and somehow, I feel as though by writing, I just might. ~ Ryan J. Pemberton
Inspirational Writing quotes by Ryan J. Pemberton
If you treat your characters like people, they'll reward you by being fully developed individuals. ~ Don Roff
Inspirational Writing quotes by Don Roff
Writing isn't only about a completed piece of work.
It's about the writer you're becoming while creating. ~ T.N. Suarez
Inspirational Writing quotes by T.N. Suarez
Reading books makes us more attentive to our personage and the aesthetic world that we live in. Writers that we idolize use language, logic, and nuance to paint physical and emotional scenes with refined precision. A writer's use of vivid language creates lingering aftereffects that work their wonder on the reader's malleable mind. A stirred mind resurrects our semiconscious memories; it causes us to summon up enduring images of our family, friends, and acquaintances. Just as importantly, inspirational writing makes us recognize our own telling character traits and identify our formerly unexpressed thoughts and feelings. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Inspirational Writing quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
If your business plan depends on suddenly being "discovered" by some big shot, your plan will probably fail. Nobody suddenly discovers anything. Things are made slowly and in pain. ~ Hugh MacLeod
Inspirational Writing quotes by Hugh MacLeod
To write is to transform that inward gaze into words, to study the worlds into which we pass when we retire into ourselves, and to do so with patience, obstinacy, and joy. ~ Orhan Pamuk
Inspirational Writing quotes by Orhan Pamuk
If you want to be a writer, write a little bit every day. Pay attention to the world around you. Stories are hiding, waiting everywhere. You just have to open your eyes and your heart. ~ Kate DiCamillo
Inspirational Writing quotes by Kate DiCamillo
Only a few of us are going to be willing to break our own hearts by trading in the living beauty of imagination for the stark disappointment of words. ~ Ann Patchett
Inspirational Writing quotes by Ann Patchett
Why shouldn't I? I demand silently. Why shouldn't I become a famous writer? Like Norman Mailer. Or Philip Roth. And F. Scott Fitzgerald and Hemmingway and all those other men. Why can't I be like them? I mean, what is the point of becoming a writer if no one reads what you've written?
Damn Viktor Greene and The New School. Why do I have to keep proving myself all of the time? Why can't I be like L'il, with everyone praising and encouraging me? Or Rainbow, with her sense of entitlement. I bet Viktor Greene never asked Rainbow why she wanted to be a writer.
Or what if-I wince-Viktor Greene is right? I'm not a writer after all. ~ Candace Bushnell
Inspirational Writing quotes by Candace Bushnell
Start telling the stories that only you can tell, because there'll always be better writers than you and there'll always be smarter writers than you. There will always be people who are much better at doing this or doing that - but you are the only you.

Tarantino - you can criticize everything that Quentin does - but nobody writes Tarantino stuff like Tarantino. He is the best Tarantino writer there is, and that was actually the thing that people responded to - they're going 'this is an individual writing with his own point of view'.

There are better writers than me out there, there are smarter writers, there are people who can plot better - there are all those kinds of things, but there's nobody who can write a Neil Gaiman story like I can. ~ Neil Gaiman
Inspirational Writing quotes by Neil Gaiman
Storytellers are powerful and we are all storytellers. ~ Tsara Shelton
Inspirational Writing quotes by Tsara Shelton
Keeping a [journal] need not be a major chore-just a few minutes of notes each day can be valuable. Writing crystallizes insights, fools the defense of forgetfulness, and builds a collection of ideas and reflections that can spur further insights even years later. ~ Roger N. Walsh
Inspirational Writing quotes by Roger N. Walsh
The writer's life requires courage, patience, empathy, openness. It requires the ability to be alone with oneself. Gentle with oneself. To be disciplined, and at the same time, take risks. ~ Dani Shapiro
Inspirational Writing quotes by Dani Shapiro
Write. Write write write write WRITE. Write. Now.

(This is an inspirational writing quote.) ~ Jen Lynn Anderson
Inspirational Writing quotes by Jen Lynn Anderson
Writers are asked, 'How could you know so much about [fill in the profession]?' The answer, if the writing satisfies, is that one makes it up. And the job, my job, as a dramatist, was not to write accurately, but to write persuasively. If and when I do my job well, subsequent cowboys, as it were, will talk like me. ~ David Mamet
Inspirational Writing quotes by David Mamet
Write your goals down in detail and read your list of goals every day. Some goals may entail a list of shorter goals. Losing a lot of weight, for example, should include mini-goals, such as 10-pound milestones. This will keep your subconscious mind focused on what you want step by step. ~ Jack Canfield
Inspirational Writing quotes by Jack Canfield
May the words come easy, the doubt be weak, and the coffee strong enough to eat through steel. (I don't drink coffee...but I understand most authors do, and they like it with a bit of fight in it.) Now, let us boot up, sit down, and accrue those daily page counts! ~ G. Allen Cook
Inspirational Writing quotes by G. Allen Cook
Writing means not just staring ugliness in the face, but finding a way to embrace
it. ~ Veronica Roth
Inspirational Writing quotes by Veronica Roth
I like when the song starts to take over and you feel like you have to dance more than write. ~ Carly Rae Jepsen
Inspirational Writing quotes by Carly Rae Jepsen
I eat, breath and sleep and that makes me like everyone else. When I write, I become something much greater than flesh & bone; something that will stay behind long after that part of me is gone. Writing makes me special, readers make me everlasting. ~ C.K. Webb
Inspirational Writing quotes by C.K. Webb
The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience. ~ Emily Dickinson
Inspirational Writing quotes by Emily Dickinson
Sometimes we get discouraged and turn to inspirational writing, like stuff from Vince Lombardi: "Quitters never win and winners never quit." Bad advice. Winners quit all the time. They just quit the right stuff at the right time. Most people quit. They just don't quit successfully. ~ Anonymous
Inspirational Writing quotes by Anonymous
Since I was trying so hard to make books lead my life, I didn't want to read them and then just put them back on the shelf and say, "good book," as if I was patting a good dog. I wanted books to change me, and I wanted to write books that would change others. ~ Jack Gantos
Inspirational Writing quotes by Jack Gantos
I am the philosophy before any philosopher. ~ J. Limbu
Inspirational Writing quotes by J. Limbu
Read a ton, write every day if you can, and don't mimic another writer's style. Find your own voice. ~ James Patterson
Inspirational Writing quotes by James Patterson
Writing is a psychological process. It is the process of taking what is in your mind and sharing it with others. ~ Gudjon Bergmann
Inspirational Writing quotes by Gudjon Bergmann
Why am I compelled to write? ... Because the world I create in the writing compensates for what the real world does not give me. By writing I put order in the world, give it a handle so I can grasp it. I write because life does not appease my appetites and anger ... To become more intimate with myself and you. To discover myself, to preserve myself, to make myself, to achieve self-autonomy. To dispell the myths that I am a mad prophet or a poor suffering soul. To convince myself that I am worthy and that what I have to say is not a pile of shit ... Finally I write because I'm scared of writing, but I'm more scared of not writing. ~ Gloria E Anzaldua
Inspirational Writing quotes by Gloria E Anzaldua
Rule of thumb: The more important a call or action is to our soul's evolution, the Resistance we will feel toward pursuing it. ~ Steven Pressfield
Inspirational Writing quotes by Steven Pressfield
When you write, you want to get rid of the world, do you not? Of coarse you do. When you're writing, you're creating your own worlds. ~ Stephen King
Inspirational Writing quotes by Stephen King
If you have not done things worthy of being written about, at least write things worthy of being read. ~ Giacomo Casanova
Inspirational Writing quotes by Giacomo Casanova
Stories allow the writer and the reader to live in the same world ~ Irene Fantopoulos
