Struggling writer' e un pleonasm, cuz a writer is always struggling. ~ Teodor Burnar
Struggling Writer quotes by Teodor Burnar
I'm a struggling writer, I'm struggling to convince people I'm a writer. ~ Tom Conrad
Struggling Writer quotes by Tom Conrad
A struggling writer, 'I get hundreds of rejection letters each day. I am depressed with this life, Can you please help?' The Wise-man, 'No, I can't help. It is good that you are being rejected. The more you get rejection letters, the better your writing will become. Always remember, first they will reject you, then they ... ignore you, then they will laugh at you and finally, they may accept you. ~ Santosh Kalwar
Struggling Writer quotes by Santosh Kalwar
A writer writes. There are no exceptions to this reality. No excuses. Stop wasting time talking about your stories and get them on paper. ~ Christy Hall
Struggling Writer quotes by Christy Hall
[Lev] Tolstoy is not a boy-writer. He's a grown-up. And [Fedor] Doestoeivski is not a boy-writer. ~ Paul Auster
Struggling Writer quotes by Paul Auster
Write the dream. Live the dream. Be the dream. ~ Adrienne Posey
Struggling Writer quotes by Adrienne Posey
We call ourselves comedy writer-performers, and that encompasses everything, and I certainly have a very open mind about it. ~ Robert Webb
Struggling Writer quotes by Robert Webb
You cannot teach creativity - how to become a good writer. But you can help a young writer discover within himself what kind of writer he would like to be. Mario Vargas Llosa ~ Mario Vargas-Llosa
Struggling Writer quotes by Mario Vargas-Llosa
I read not for entertainment but to feel what the writer has felt while writing even though if it was fiction. ~ Pushpa Rana
Struggling Writer quotes by Pushpa Rana
The danger for the writer who is spurred by the religious view of the world is that he will consider this to be two operations instead of one. He will try to enshrine the mystery without the fact, and there will follow a further set of separations which are inimical to art. Judgement will be separated from vision, nature from grace, and reason from imagination.
They are separations which we see in our society and which exist in our writing. They are separations which faith tends to heal if we realize that faith is a 'walking in darkness' and not a theological solution to mystery. The poet is traditionally a blind man, but the Christian poet, and storyteller as well, is like the blind man whom Christ touched... ~ Flannery O'Connor
Struggling Writer quotes by Flannery O'Connor
Shades of Grey. I haven't read it yet, but what you have to read carefully, is "Story of O" by the French writer Dominique Aury. This is actually the forerunner of all the whole SM novels and it's really good. You have to read it. ~ Theo Hutchcraft
Struggling Writer quotes by Theo Hutchcraft
I have to admit that as a copy editor I agree with the conservatives - my job is to do no harm. But as a person - and as a writer and reader - I am all over the place. ~ Mary Norris
Struggling Writer quotes by Mary Norris
The writer of this passage, David, was a veritable emotional volcano constantly threatening to erupt and a man after God's own heart. ~ Beth Moore
Struggling Writer quotes by Beth Moore
Beside every great writer is a great listener. ~ Nanette L. Avery
Struggling Writer quotes by Nanette L. Avery
A word ( ... ) is never the destination, merely a signpost in its general direction; and whatever ( ... ) body that destination finally acquires owes quite as much to the reader as to the writer. ~ John Fowles
Struggling Writer quotes by John Fowles
When we seek to understand liberty, equality, progress, constitutional governance, separation of church and state, and the meaning of the American Revolution, we do so in contexts framed by Jefferson's writings and arguments. Whatever we think of Jefferson as a person or as a politician, we can never take away from him his remarkable gift as a writer or his ultimate claims to fame. He achieved his intention to express 'the American mind' and became the leading spokesman for the revolution of ideas that changed, and that continues to change, the face of America and the world. His words mean not only what he might have intended them to mean, but also what succeeding generations of Americans have read into them. Thus, whether he would even comprehend the United States in the first years of the twenty-first century, Jefferson's shadow looms large over us, thanks to the conflicting influences of his thinking, doing, and -- most important -- his writing. That truth alone requires each generation to reacquaint itself with the life and work of Thomas Jefferson, and to grapple with his ambiguous legacies. ~ R.B. Bernstein
Struggling Writer quotes by R.B. Bernstein
There's this whole thing of being two people. You are the person you want to be - the writer - and then there's this weird other life of going on tour and talking about the writing. And that really is weird. ~ Michelle Paver
Struggling Writer quotes by Michelle Paver
I see the author as the person who has written; the writer, the one involved in the process of writing. And they're not necessarily friends. The writer is the one I want to reinforce; the author would just feed on the reviews - so I'm in favour of starving him. ~ Edward St. Aubyn
Struggling Writer quotes by Edward St. Aubyn
I wouldn't not want to be a director and write as I wouldn't not to want to be a writer and direct movies. ~ Walter Hill
Struggling Writer quotes by Walter Hill
Love is the only energy I've ever used as a writer. I've never written out of anger, although anger has informed love. ~ Athol Fugard
Struggling Writer quotes by Athol Fugard
My writing flows out of my doctorhood. They are not separate things. They are one. I think the foremost connection between being a doctor and being a writer is the great privilege of having an intimate view of one's fellow humans, the privilege of being there and helping other people at their most vulnerable moments. ~ Abraham Verghese
Struggling Writer quotes by Abraham Verghese
The writer who loses his self-doubt, who gives way as he grows old to a sudden euphoria, to prolixity, should stop writing immediately: the time has come for him to lay aside his pen. ~ Colette
Struggling Writer quotes by Colette
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
Struggling Writer quotes by Kate DiCamillo
I see myself as, first and above all, a teacher of history; next, a writer of European history; next, a commentator on European affairs; next, a public intellectual voice within the American left; and only then an occasional, opportunistic participant in the pained American discussion of the Jewish matter. ~ Tony Judt
Struggling Writer quotes by Tony Judt
I created the Katie Fforde Bursary because I was a "nearly there" writer for a long time. I found it a bit of a struggle to pay my annual subscription to the Romantic Novelists' Association so when I finally became published, I wanted to give something back. That's the bursary, a year's subscription and a place at the conference. It does seem to give people a valuable boost to their confidence. People can find out more about the Romantic Novelists' Association at www.rna-uk.org ~ Katie Fforde
Struggling Writer quotes by Katie Fforde
Gregory writes of Armageddon as if the Devil is getting off on using him literally to write that iniquitous beast into existence, into the flesh. I believe both Gregory and Jamie Stillingsworth are being used as vessels to bring about the end of days. ~ A.K. Kuykendall
Struggling Writer quotes by A.K. Kuykendall
I am ... persuaded that Woolf was right, that every novel has a characteristic rhythm. And that if the writer hasn't listened for that rhythm and followed it, the sentences will be lame, the characters will be puppets, the story will be false. And if the writer can hold to that rhythm, the book will have some beauty. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Struggling Writer quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
The starting point for becoming a good writer is to be a good reader. ~ Steven Pinker
Struggling Writer quotes by Steven Pinker
A big enough artist, I say, can eat anything, must eat everything and then alchemize it. Only the feeble writer is afraid of expansion. ~ Anais Nin
Struggling Writer quotes by Anais Nin
If any writer in this country has collected as fine and passionate a group of readers as I have, they're fortunate and lucky beyond anyone's imagination. It remains a shock to me that I've had a successful writing career. Not someone like me; Lord, there were too many forces working against me, too many dark currents pushing against me, but it somehow worked. Though I wish I'd written a lot more, been bolder with my talent, more forgiving of my weaknesses, I've managed to draw a magic audience into my circle. They come to my signings to tell me stories, their stories. The ones that have hurt them and made their nights long and their lives harder. ~ Pat Conroy
Struggling Writer quotes by Pat Conroy
I'm a writer."It took a second to click. Then Blake chucked. "Not just any writer. She writes paranormal porn."She turned, and snarled at Blake, "It's not porn. It is erotic romance. ~ Hazel Gower
Struggling Writer quotes by Hazel Gower
Like no other writer in contemporary American literature, Brock Clarke has a way of looking at us, I mean looking straight at us
warts, lots of warts, and beauty and hypocrisy and love, too, the gamut. And hes done it again in this brilliant The Happiest People in the World, a novel that is as hilarious and thought-provoking as it is ultimately, deadly, deadly serious. I for one am grateful hes out there
watching our every move. ~ Peter Orner
Struggling Writer quotes by Peter Orner
I felt let down when I could see the writer too much at work on a character because it reminded me forcefully that of course I don't have a writer working on my story, guiding me to safety, bending the laws of reality for me, bringing me in a hero to rescue me or transporting me to a happier life by the stroke of her pen. No writer is writing me a better journey. No writer is guiding me through my misunderstandings and muddles and wrong turns to reach my happy ending. And then I realize I am the writer. ...we all write out our own lives. ~ Samantha Ellis
Struggling Writer quotes by Samantha Ellis
The ways by which you may get money almost without exception lead downward. To have done anything by which you earned money merely is to have been truly idle or worse. If the laborer gets no more than the wages which his employer pays him, he is cheated, he cheats himself. If you would get money as a writer or lecturer, you must be popular, which is to go down perpendicularly. Those services which the community will most readily pay for, it is most disagreeable to render. You are paid for being something less than a man. The State does not commonly reward a genius any more wisely. Even the poet laureate would rather not have to celebrate the accidents of royalty. He must be bribed with a pipe of wine; and perhaps another poet is called away from his muse to gauge that very pipe. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Struggling Writer quotes by Henry David Thoreau
The nastiest kind of writer is a ghostwriter, who bears people's children in their body for money. ~ M.F. Moonzajer
Struggling Writer quotes by M.F. Moonzajer
I'm a writer. I write stuff. ~ Kevin J.J. Carpenter
Struggling Writer quotes by Kevin J.J. Carpenter
When the human race learns to read the language of symbolism, a great veil will fall from the eyes of men. They shall then know truth and, more than that, they shall realize that from the beginning truth has been in the world unrecognized, save by a small but gradually increasing number appointed by the Lords of the Dawn as ministers to the needs of human creatures struggling co regain their consciousness of divinity. ~ Manly P. Hall
Struggling Writer quotes by Manly P. Hall
The trouble is, I'm writer, and most writers are terrible nosey parkers. ~ Roald Dahl
Struggling Writer quotes by Roald Dahl
I think every writer struggles in some way with writers block. The trick is to plan out what you are going to say beforehand. I found out that if you make an outline you're much less likely to get blocked when you get into the middle of the story. ~ Rick Riordan
Struggling Writer quotes by Rick Riordan
I wanted to be a writer first, and I struck out in the world to be a writer first, and then found stand-up as a more creative outlet, as a 3D way to be creative. ~ B.J. Novak
Struggling Writer quotes by B.J. Novak
William Shakespeare was a brilliant writer and he only wrote the truth. So, if I don't believe it, I have to work really hard to see what that truth is so that I do; that's the only way I can make it believable for the audience. ~ Condola Rashad
Struggling Writer quotes by Condola Rashad
Most people I meet are stupid. Now, nobody likes to be labeled as stupid because they don't want to know the truth about themselves, that they're more useful dead than alive. The vast majority of those that meet me for the first time don't believe that I've worked as a College Professor, or that I make a living as a writer. In fact, many have stopped talking to me because they believe I make a living doing something illegal, something criminal. It's easier for them to believe that I'm just a criminal, than to accept that I'm one of the most famous bestselling writers in the entire planet. The ones that reach the next level, will ask me if I belong to any secret organization, if I speak to demons or if I channel the dead, or even if I steal information from the internet and other authors. Now, what they can't see, is that the more they talk such things, the more they show me their real nature. They are very, really very, stupid. They can't see an elephant in front of their nose; they can't see an intelligent human being in front of their face; they are indeed very stupid and that's a fact, not an assumption. ~ Robin Sacredfire
Struggling Writer quotes by Robin Sacredfire
In ten years I will be a beautiful charming lovely lady writer without any husband or children but lots of lovers and everyone will read the books I write and want to marry me but I will never marry any of them. I will have lots of money and jewels too. ~ Shirley Jackson
Struggling Writer quotes by Shirley Jackson
You know you are a writer when you talk about your characters as if they were real people! ~ Wyketha K Parkman
