Publish a book before you're too old to read it without glasses. ~ Fennel Hudson
Writer Encouragement quotes by Fennel Hudson
I always try to give good ratings to books I have read unless it is really bad. Being a writer I know how a bad rating feels. Sometimes it is better to encourage a writer rather than discourage them. After all the next book they write could be a World Renown novel like Harry Potter. ~ William Roach
Writer Encouragement quotes by William Roach
If I were to list all the positive attributes about Ryan Lilly, I'd run out of superior adjectives to use. I mean seriously, how big do you think my vocabulary is? I only know about a hundred million words, and with that small of a sample size, how could I accurately describe someone as great as Ryan? Ryan is the most amazing guy I've ever met. Seriously, I'm insanely jealous and I just want to stab him. But I won't, because everybody loves Ryan, including me. Ryan is a big inspiration in my life. Not only is Ryan fiercely intelligent - on the level of Newton, da Vinci, and Nietzsche's mustache - but he is the most open, honest, and understanding guy I've ever met. He's the kind of guy who'd give you the shirt off his back if you asked. I know, because I'm wearing his shirt now. If you don't know who Ryan Lilly is, you soon will. He'll probably be one of the most talked about people in history, and just the other day I came across this quote from Pliny (I don't know how old Pliny is, so I don't know if it was Pliny the Older or Pliny the Younger) which said, "Everything good I have written about can be summed up in two words: Ryan Lilly." That's a real quote I read in a real book. Trust me, I'm a writer. ~ Jarod Kintz
Writer Encouragement quotes by Jarod Kintz
He was such a bad writer, they revoked his poetic license. ~ Milton Berle
Writer Encouragement quotes by Milton Berle
Stories of Fantasy are nothing more than the retelling of our own triumphs and sad, sad tragedies ... Tod Langley
I have that painted on my office wall and love to stare at it. ~ Tod Langley
Writer Encouragement quotes by Tod Langley
Writer's block is a myth. I never see the gardeners suffering from gardening block. ~ Emo Philips
Writer Encouragement quotes by Emo Philips
Without overcoming the obstacles on the path, how can you get to the top of the mountain? ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Writer Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
A person that doesn't read and doesn't have any ethics complaining about a writer feels like a Chihuahua barking at a Rottweiler. ~ Robin Sacredfire
Writer Encouragement quotes by Robin Sacredfire
I honestly think in order to be a writer, you have to learn to be reverent. If not, why are you writing? Why are you here? Let's think of reverence as awe, as presence in and openness to the world. The alternative is that we stultify, we shut down. Think of those times when you've read prose or poetry that is presented in such a way that you have a fleeting sense of being startled by beauty or insight, by a glimpse into someone's soul. All of a sudden everything seems to fit together or at least to have some meaning for a moment. This is our goal as writers, I think; to help others have this sense of
please forgive me
wonder, of seeing things anew, things that can catch us off guard, that break in on our small, bordered worlds. ~ Anne Lamott
Writer Encouragement quotes by Anne Lamott
Act as if it was and it will be. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Writer Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
The difference is slight, to the influence of an author, whether he is read by five hundred readers, or by five hundred thousand; if he can select the five hundred, he reaches the five hundred thousand. ~ Henry Adams
Writer Encouragement quotes by Henry Adams
Passion in every word I wrote, passion in every single thought. ~ Bernard Jan
Writer Encouragement quotes by Bernard Jan
Well I could have been just a writer. I had been a hair dresser. I could have stuck with that. ~ Fran Drescher
Writer Encouragement quotes by Fran Drescher
It isn't bad judgment to make a man believe he is something. He is by nature inclined to it, and a little encouragement is good for most people. ~ Kate Langley Bosher
Writer Encouragement quotes by Kate Langley Bosher
We are not to expect to be translated from despotism to liberty in a featherbed. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Writer Encouragement quotes by Thomas Jefferson
To be a writer and know the pain of artistic block is to know real frustration (though it's not quite as bad as constipation)! ~ John D. Rhodes
Writer Encouragement quotes by John D. Rhodes
You're a writer. And that's something better than being a millionaire. Because it's something holy. ~ Harlan Ellison
Writer Encouragement quotes by Harlan Ellison
Good writing tends to present evidence rather than judgments. When the evidence is well presented, the reader's judgments will agree with those implicit in the writing. But nothing is more disastrous to the communication between writer and reader than a series of implicit judgments with which the reader cannot agree or which he finds to be simply silly or for which he is given no evidence he can respect. ~ John Ciardi
Writer Encouragement quotes by John Ciardi
The writer of good will carries a lamp to illuminate the dark corners. ~ Isabel Allende
Writer Encouragement quotes by Isabel Allende
And so they would go on talking or rather, understanding, which has become the main art of speech in an age when words are growing daily so scanty in comparison with ideas that 'the biscuits ran out' has to stand for kissing a negress in the dark when one has just read Bishop Berkeley's philosophy for the tenth time. (And from this it follows that only the most profound masters of style can tell the truth, and when one meets a simple one–syllable writer, one may conclude, without any doubt at all, that the poor man is lying.) ~ Virginia Woolf
Writer Encouragement quotes by Virginia Woolf
The apostle Paul said, "Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope" (Rom. 15:4). ~ Rick Warren
Writer Encouragement quotes by Rick Warren
There was no audience for my books. The Indians didn't regard me as an Indian and North Americans couldn't conceive of me of a North American writer, not being white and brought up on wheat germ. My fiction got lost. ~ Bharati Mukherjee
Writer Encouragement quotes by Bharati Mukherjee
For me, an ideal novel is a dialogue between writer and reader, both a collaborative experience and an intimate exchange of emotions and ideas. The reader just might be the most powerful tool in a writer's arsenal. ~ Jonathan Evison
Writer Encouragement quotes by Jonathan Evison
Every time I enter a country and have to write down my occupation at customs, I'm like, 'I don't know ... Author? Host? Writer? Stand-up?' I usually write 'author' - that's the safest bet. ~ Chelsea Handler
Writer Encouragement quotes by Chelsea Handler
I love being a writer. I am very lucky my life's ambition turned out to be just as much fun as I thought it would be. ~ J.K. Rowling
Writer Encouragement quotes by J.K. Rowling
I feel like one can have all of that as a writer; you're writing, you're reading, you're talking to interesting and intelligent people. Your life is structured around whatever book you're writing, and so is your reading and so are many of your conversations. ~ Sheila Heti
Writer Encouragement quotes by Sheila Heti
You have to live in order to have something to write about - you get caught up in moviemaking and celebrities and money, and it's very intoxicating, but it doesn't give you what you need as a writer. You have to do something else for that. ~ John Patrick Shanley
Writer Encouragement quotes by John Patrick Shanley
If you want to support a writer, produce the first five plays he writes. ~ August Wilson
Writer Encouragement quotes by August Wilson
When I became a parent and hit my thirties, I got my hands on an acoustic guitar. I started writing quiet, simple songs at home and, with a little encouragement, I got more courage and found my voice. I have people and movements who have inspired me to carry on, but I try to write about things I know, nothing too complicated, really. ~ Withered Hand
Writer Encouragement quotes by Withered Hand
There was a French activist and writer, Simone de Beauvoir, who said, 'You are not born woman. You become one' ... Words I live by. ~ Bruce Jenner
Writer Encouragement quotes by Bruce Jenner
The responsibility of a writer is to excavate the experience of the people who produced him. ~ James Baldwin
Writer Encouragement quotes by James Baldwin
As a writer, I first felt successful before I was published. ~ Patrick Rothfuss
Writer Encouragement quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
I'm not negative, pessimistic, angry, antisocial or schizophrenic. I'm a writer, and entitled to all that with pride. ~ Daniel Marques
Writer Encouragement quotes by Daniel Marques
Each time we had a visiting writer, I asked what she thought of women and humor. By the end of the year, I had perfected my question and asked Adrienne Rich why there was so little written about women and humor. She looked at me right in the eye and said, 'You write it.' I took that as an order. ~ Kate Clinton
Writer Encouragement quotes by Kate Clinton
I wish I could be a better writer, but writing is so difficult. I get seduced by visual aesthetics. Because I just like making beautiful pictures, sometimes I wander away from making a clear statement. ~ Sally Mann
Writer Encouragement quotes by Sally Mann
Shall I stop in to check on Bella before I go?"
"Not dressed like that. You would give her palpitations if she knew you were going into danger for her benefit."
"Luckily, I am mostly immune to Bella's powers and could cure such palpitations with a thought," Gideon mused.
Jacob raised a brow, taking the medic's measure. He could not recall the last time he had heard the Ancient crack wise about anything. It was not a wholly unpleasant experience, and it amused the Enforcer.
"I . . . am aware of what is occurring between you and Legna, as you know," Jacob mentioned with casual quiet. "I am only recently Imprinted myself, but should you require - " He broke off, suddenly uncomfortable. "Of course, you probably know far more about Imprinting than I ever will."
He is reaching out to you.
Legna's soft encouragement made Gideon suddenly aware of that fact. It was one of those nuances he would have missed completely, rusty as he was with matters of friendship and how to relate better to others.
"I am glad for the offer of any help you can provide," Gideon said quickly. "In fact, I had wanted to ask you . . . something . . ."
What did I want to ask him? he asked Legna urgently.
I do not know! I did not tell you to engage him, just to graciously accept his offer.
Oh. My apologies. Still, you are clever enough to think of something, are you not?
Legna knew he was baiting her, so she laughed.
Ask him why it is you seem to consta ~ Jacquelyn Frank
Writer Encouragement quotes by Jacquelyn Frank
Words exist in the smile on your face, the life in your eyes, the passion in your soul, and those beautiful and open enough to recognize it. THAT is a writers haven … ~ Dawn Garcia
Writer Encouragement quotes by Dawn Garcia
Your first book is the only one that matters. Perhaps a writer should write only that one. That is the one moment when you make the big leap; the opportunity to express yourself is offered that once, and you untie the knot within you then or never again. ~ Italo Calvino
Writer Encouragement quotes by Italo Calvino
But the fruit that can fall without shaking Indeed is too mellow for me. ~ Mary Wortley Montagu
Writer Encouragement quotes by Mary Wortley Montagu
Clearly, she was enjoying herself to see that woman hurt. It was nothing she had desired. Nor did it seem as if she could control it, this inhuman sweet sensation to see another human being squirming. It hit her like a stone, the knowledge that there is pleasure in hurting. A strong three-dimensional pleasure, an exclusive masculine delight that is exhilarating beyond all measure. And this too is God's gift to man? She wondered. ~ Ama Ata Aidoo
Writer Encouragement quotes by Ama Ata Aidoo
I'm not an autobiographical writer, but I am a writer who deals with human emotion on all levels. ~ P.J. Harvey
Writer Encouragement quotes by P.J. Harvey
A writing cook and a cooking writer must be bold at the desk as well as the stove. ~ Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Writer Encouragement quotes by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher
Sparhawk just sounded too ludicrous for words when spoken out loud. What had the writer been thinking? Oh, do me, great big Sparhawk. You the man.' (Taryn) ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Writer Encouragement quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
[EM] Forster was the only living writer whom he would have described as his master. In other people's books he found examples of style which he wanted to imitate and learn from. In Forster he found a key to the whole art of writing. The Zen masters of archery - of whom, in those days, Christopher had never heard - start by teaching you the mental attitude with which you must pick up the bow. A Forster novel taught Christopher the mental attitude with which he must pick up the pen. ~ Christopher Isherwood
Writer Encouragement quotes by Christopher Isherwood
As a writer, I've tried to avoid strong opinions about morality. You just want to present things as they are and let the viewer come to their own conclusion. ~ Terence Winter
Writer Encouragement quotes by Terence Winter
What satisfaction do you, personally, get from being a writer?" Lanark tried to remember. He said, "It's the only disciplined work I remember trying. I sleep better for it. ~ Alasdair Gray
Writer Encouragement quotes by Alasdair Gray
