Well, I definitely have an artistic side to me as well. I write, I act, I draw. With that artistic mind I have, a lot of doors have opened for me. I can try to pursue, like - if it's something using my writing skills, maybe a book. Or maybe if it's my drawing skills, some clothing designs. ~ Vinny Guadagnino
Writing Skills quotes by Vinny Guadagnino
Hire great writers If you are trying to decide among a few people to fill a position, hire the best writer. It doesn't matter if that person is a marketer, salesperson, designer, programmer, or whatever; their writing skills will pay off. That's because being a good writer is about more than writing. Clear writing is a sign of clear thinking. Great writers know how to communicate. They make things easy to understand. They can put themselves in someone else's shoes. They know what to omit. And those are qualities you want in any candidate. ~ Jason Fried
Writing Skills quotes by Jason Fried
I actually credit Twitter with fine-tuning some joke-writing skills. I still feel like I'm working at it. ~ Steve Martin
Writing Skills quotes by Steve Martin
Improve writing skills: 1. Keep paragraphs short. 2. Use bold and CAPS to make points. 3. Start with a question or short statement. 4. Give me meat in the middle. All meat. 5. Make me smile, think, or act at the end. ~ Jeffrey Gitomer
Writing Skills quotes by Jeffrey Gitomer
ARGH! There's no such thing [as writer's block]. Seriously: THERE. IS. NO. SUCH. THING. You know what there is? There's a bunch of problems, creative and otherwise, that can stop you writing. They are not block. They are important skills. ~ Nick Harkaway
Writing Skills quotes by Nick Harkaway
According to the English scholar Richard Lloyd-Jones, some of the clay tablets deciphered from ancient Sumerian include complaints about the deteriorating writing skills of the young. ~ Steven Pinker
Writing Skills quotes by Steven Pinker
Experience is the only subject worthwhile of study. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Writing Skills quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
The journalism school helped me develop writing skills, and I had been enjoying cartooning from a very young age. My interest in puppetry, however, came much later. ~ William Jackson
Writing Skills quotes by William Jackson
Speech is highly elliptical. It would scarcely be endurable otherwise. Ellipsis is indispensable to the writer or speaker who wants to be brief and pithy, but it can easily cause confusion and obscurity and must be used with skill. ~ Bergen Evans
Writing Skills quotes by Bergen Evans
All the elements of good writing depend on the writer's skill in choosing one word instead of another. ~ Francine Prose
Writing Skills quotes by Francine Prose
Hone your writing skills as if they were your finest weapons of war. For in the literary arena, your pen will truly be your sword. ~ Max Hawthorne
Writing Skills quotes by Max Hawthorne
You have to have something worth saying and then the ability to say it- writing's a double skill, really. ~ Iain Banks
Writing Skills quotes by Iain Banks
I found it more pleasurable to write something, sing a melody over it. At a very young age, I kind of honed my writing skills, I guess. ~ DJ Ashba
Writing Skills quotes by DJ Ashba
Prof. Gerd Gleixner said " Lailah , write every morning. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Writing Skills quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Does doing something old with new technology mean that I'm teaching with technology and that I'm doing so in a way as to really improve the reading and writing skills of the students in my classroom? (2007, 214). Her answer, as well as mine, would be no. When we simply bring a traditional mind-set to literacy practices, and not a mind-set that understands new literacies (an idea developed by Colin Lankshear and Michele Knobel, which I elaborate on later) into the process of digital writing, we cannot make the substantive changes to our teaching that need to happen in order to embrace the ... ~ Troy Hicks
Writing Skills quotes by Troy Hicks
You know how some people will say to writers, "Why don't you just write a romance novel that sells a bunch of copies and then you'll have the money to do the kind of writing you want to do"? I always say that I don't have the skills or knowledge to do that. It would be just as hard for me to do that kind of writing as it would be to learn how to do any number of productive careers that I can't manage to make myself do. ~ Lucy Corin
Writing Skills quotes by Lucy Corin
For someone who is starting out on developing their critical skills, just being aware of its existence is great: it can make the difference between trying to write a story around a cliche or an original idea, and better still, studying it can eventually clue you in on how to breathe new life into tired tropes. ~ Charles Stross
Writing Skills quotes by Charles Stross
Science fiction at its best should be crazy and dangerous, not sane and safe. ~ Paul Di Filippo
Writing Skills quotes by Paul Di Filippo
The internet is killing the art of writing. The big "publish" button begs you to publish even before you go back and make one single edit, and as if this was not enough, you have instant readers who praise your writing skills!- ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Writing Skills quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
Think before you write, while you write- and definitely after you have written. ~ Sudakshina Bhattacharjee
Writing Skills quotes by Sudakshina Bhattacharjee
The most important people is to pick people who like to write software and who are good at ... good developers like working with each other. And they ... they reinforce each other's skills. ~ Bill Gates
Writing Skills quotes by Bill Gates
the best of luck in improving their English writing skills. However, in saying that, it's not up to luck so much as dedication, hard work, and a personal interest in improving your English academic writing skills. APPLY your newly learned knowledge with practical essay writing skills, and you can write you way to a BA. ~ Stephen E. Dew
Writing Skills quotes by Stephen E. Dew
I think poor poetry writing skills are excused when you're simply trying to flush out emotions. ~ Katie Kiesler
Writing Skills quotes by Katie Kiesler
Songwriting is a really fortunate skill to have to frame living and to find new ways to observe things you're going through. ~ Feist
Writing Skills quotes by Feist
Like good reading skills, good writing skills require immersion and imaginative engagement. ~ Sara Sheridan
Writing Skills quotes by Sara Sheridan
I speak Mandarin and can read and write a little. I took a few classes at Harvard to get better in my reading and writing skills. ~ Jeremy Lin
Writing Skills quotes by Jeremy Lin
It isn't often that a writer of superlative skills knows enough about flying to write well about it. ~ Samuel Hynes
Writing Skills quotes by Samuel Hynes
I'm not unfamiliar with music, and I really do write music. I've gotten a talent for it. I don't have the technical skills, but I do plan to learn. ~ Anthony Hopkins
Writing Skills quotes by Anthony Hopkins
Author' is just a fancy word for Schizophrenic people with good writing skills and cash. ~ Testy McTesterson
Writing Skills quotes by Testy McTesterson
I see creative-writing classes as some sort of AA meeting. It is more of a support group for people who write than an actual course in which you learn writing skills. This support group is extremely important because there is something very lonely about writing. ~ Etgar Keret
Writing Skills quotes by Etgar Keret
If a young aspirant had a modicum of skill and a busy typewriter she or he would sooner or later get a foothold in one of the magazines and a leaping start on the ladder upward. ~ James A. Michener
Writing Skills quotes by James A. Michener
I've always had a vivid imagination in terms of storytelling, but thankfully I learned early on that imagination can be stifled or enhanced by one's writing ability - what I call word work. My goal from then on was to make sure my writing skills were up to speed with my imagination. ~ Marvin Brown
Writing Skills quotes by Marvin Brown
I have met bright students in computer science who have never seen the source code of a large program. They may be good at writing small programs, but they can't begin to learn the different skills of writing large ones if they can't see how others have done it. ~ Richard Stallman
Writing Skills quotes by Richard Stallman
We postpone our literary work until we have more ripeness and skill to write, and we one day discover that our literary talent wasa youthful effervescence which we have now lost. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Writing Skills quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Prof. Emi Ito said "Lailah, if you can't explain the scientific observations in a simple sentence, it means you do not know enough. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Writing Skills quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
As our economy faces up to potential labour shortages due to our ageing population and as it moves to a new level of sophistication to compete with the rest of the world, we're going to need every Australian on board pulling their weight, rejoining the workforce, gaining new skills. Writing off individuals and communities suffering from poverty just creates a dead weight for our economy to drag along. ~ Julia Gillard
Writing Skills quotes by Julia Gillard
A. Douglas Stone, a physicist who has spent his life using quantum mechanics to explore striking new phenomena, has turned his considerable writing skills to thinking about Einstein and the quantum. What he finds and makes broadly understandable are the riches of Einstein's thinking not about relativity, not about his arguments with Bohr, but about Einstein's deep insights into the quantum world, insights that Stone shows speak to us now with all the vividness and depth they had a century ago. This is a fascinating book, lively, engaging, and strong in physical intuition. ~ Peter Galison
Writing Skills quotes by Peter Galison
Writing a book is the most terrifying thing that I've ever done. It's so much harder than writing for television because it is a completely different skill set. ~ Mindy Kaling
Writing Skills quotes by Mindy Kaling
My advice for aspiring writers is simply this: NEVER GIVE UP. Do not let anyone tell you that you cannot achieve your dreams. If you want to be a writer, do it! Study hard to show that you have a passion for it. Read as many books as you possibly can. Attend workshops. Take classes that focus on English and writing skills. Research. Write everyday; even if it's on little napkins at restaurants. Every idea starts somewhere. Never let anyone steal your aspirations. You can do this. Just breathe and write. The rest will come to follow. ~ Rachel Nicole Wagner
Writing Skills quotes by Rachel Nicole Wagner
A writer who has perfect writing skills and zero honesty is not an author but a sales person. ~ Sandra Chami Kassis
Writing Skills quotes by Sandra Chami Kassis
I realized that I was writing about folks with lots of skills, especially fix-it skills and survival skills, who were nonetheless not doing well in the new-millennium America. ~ Bonnie Jo Campbell
Writing Skills quotes by Bonnie Jo Campbell
Everytime I write, it's a catharsis. Even if I never got paid for it, I'd feel compelled to do it. And that's what makes a true writer. It's not how many readers you have or how many publishing contracts. Do you love to write? Then you're an author. No one can take that away from you. ~ Piper Vaughn
Writing Skills quotes by Piper Vaughn
From about the age of 15 or 16 I'd had the notion that I wanted to write fiction, and I'd done enough in college to satisfy myself that I had a knack for it - I wouldn't call it "talent" - though I wondered if I'd ever have the guts to actually commit to it. ~ Ben Fountain
Writing Skills quotes by Ben Fountain
I made a deal with myself that whenever I smoke weed, I have to be doing something productive: writing, recording, cutting a podcast, editing, etc. ~ Kevin Smith
Writing Skills quotes by Kevin Smith
I don't know which is worse - to have a bad teacher or no teacher at all. In any case, I believe the teacher's work should be largely negative. He can't put the gift into you, but if he finds it there, he can try to keep it from going in an obviously wrong direction. We can learn how not to write, but this is a discipline that does not simply concern writing itself but concerns the whole intellectual life. A mind cleared of false emotion and false sentiment and egocentricity is going to have at least those roadblocks removed from its path. If you don't think cheaply, then there at least won't be the quality of cheapness in your writing, even though you may not be able to write well. The teacher can try to weed out what is positively bad, and this should be the aim of the whole college. Any discipline can help your writing: logic, mathematics, theology, and of course and particularly drawing. Anything that helps you to see, anything that makes you look. The writer should never be ashamed of staring. There is nothing that doesn't require his attention. ~ Flannery O'Connor
Writing Skills quotes by Flannery O'Connor
I don't think it's man's function to write. I don't think it's a normal thing like teeth-brushing and going to the bathroom. It's a supered position on the animal. ~ Rod Serling
Writing Skills quotes by Rod Serling
Find your best time of the day for writing and write. Don't let anything else interfere. Afterwards it won't matter to you that the kitchen is a mess. ~ Esther Freud
Writing Skills quotes by Esther Freud
I was writing a poem, and suddenly, I fell asleep on a page.
I was dreaming of you. You were talking to me. I discovered that
you were all words and phrases.

Passion generated poetry, in which you were all the verses.
I was reading my book and found that you are all the pages.
كنت أكتب قصيدة , وفجأة, غفوت عليها.

كنت أحلم بك.
كنت تتحدث إلي بين
حروفي التي خطتها شفتيك
وأفقت على ضمتك لشوق كلماتي
وترجم صدرك تعابير الشغف
إلى عبارات
.
عشقي أنجب شعراً,
وأنت فيه كل الأبيات.

كنت أقرأ كتابي,
فوجدتك كل الصفحات ~ Amany Al-Hallaq
Writing Skills quotes by Amany Al-Hallaq
Art is the provocation for talking about enigma and the search for sense in human life. One can do that by telling a story or writing about a fresco by Giotto or studying how a snail climbs up a wall. ~ John Berger
Writing Skills quotes by John Berger
It is important to measure ourselves at least once in life, undertake a personal odyssey that constructs a clarifying prism of our being. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Writing Skills quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
A writer feels happy when the words connect with the reader's heart. ~ Avijeet Das
Writing Skills quotes by Avijeet Das
Can I speak to Sayvyer, please?"
"You're looking for the savior? At 1:15 a.m.?"
"No. her name's Sayvyer."
"There's no savior here. Especially not at 1:15 a.m. ~ Zack Love
Writing Skills quotes by Zack Love
The weapons an author has at her disposal are flawed. There are words that feel shapeless and overused. Love, for example. I could write the word love a thousand times and it would mean a thousand different things to different readers. ~ Jodi Picoult
Writing Skills quotes by Jodi Picoult
Writing for the theatre is so different to writing for anything else. Because what you write is eventually going to be spoken. That's why I think so many really powerful novelists can't write a play - because they don't understand that it's spoken - that it hits the air. They don't get that. ~ Sam Shepard
Writing Skills quotes by Sam Shepard
Becoming a writer is a lifelong journey. It cannot be learned in a day or even a month or a year. We will never fully learn all there is to know about our craft, and even if we did we wouldn't realize it. We are filled with self-doubt by nature, and many of us will work our entire lives to master the art of the written word without ever recognizing the true talent we possess. Writing is a personal journey of self-discovery and growth, and should be honored as such. If you wonder about my best writing, I would say it came without warning, in moments when I was most vulnerable - with the door shut and my heart split wide open. ~ Shanda Trofe Write From The Heart
Writing Skills quotes by Shanda Trofe Write From The Heart
Writing is a private discipline, in a field of companions. ~ Jonathan Lethem
Writing Skills quotes by Jonathan Lethem
I like my writing career and it's progression, I'd rather be that slow moving tide that turns a mountain into a beautiful beach for all to enjoy, rather than a flash in a pan that yields no heat. ~ Stanley Victor Paskavich
Writing Skills quotes by Stanley Victor Paskavich
I wanted to write the most beautiful poem but that is impossible; the world has written its own. ~ Dejan Stojanovic
Writing Skills quotes by Dejan Stojanovic
If you take the time and put in the effort to write your own material and absolutely refuse to be denied the right to make your film it is difficult whatever colour you are. ~ Denzel Washington
Writing Skills quotes by Denzel Washington
Honestly, I don't know what I would recommend from this story. Perhaps it is this: if you have the choice to laugh or do nothing, you might as well laugh. ~ F.K. Preston
Writing Skills quotes by F.K. Preston
Over the next four days, I want you to write about your deepest emotions and thoughts about the most upsetting experience in your life. Really let go and explore your feelings and thoughts about it. In your writing, you might tie this experience to your childhood, your relationship with your parents, people you have loved or love now or even your career. How is this experience related to who you would like to become, who you have been in the past, or who you are now?. ~ James W. Pennebaker
Writing Skills quotes by James W. Pennebaker
And then, unbidden, seemingly out of nowhere, a thought or image arrives. Some will float into your head like goldfish, lovely, bright, orange, and weightless, and you follow them like a child at an aquarium that was thought to be without fish. Others will step of the shadows like Boo Radley and make you catch your breath or take a step backward. They're often so rich, these unbidden thoughts, and so clear that they feel indelible. But I say write them all down anyway. ~ Anne Lamott
Writing Skills quotes by Anne Lamott
If you can't annoy somebody, there is little point in writing. ~ Kingsley Amis
Writing Skills quotes by Kingsley Amis
Now I'm doing a film festival for kids and writing a script about a kidnapped journalist in Afghanistan. ~ Olivia Wilde
Writing Skills quotes by Olivia Wilde
Hire for character, train for skills. ~ Michael Josephson
Writing Skills quotes by Michael Josephson
Flow is the process of achieving happiness through control over one's inner life. The optimal state of inner experience is order in consciousness. This happens when we focus our attention (psychic energy) on realistic goals and when our skills match the challenges we face. ~ Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Writing Skills quotes by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Plotting is like sex. Plotting is about desire and satisfaction, anticipation and release. You have to arouse your reader's desire to know what happens, to unravel the mystery, to see good triumph. You have to sustain it, keep it warm, feed it, just a little bit, not too much at a time, as your story goes on. That's called suspense. It can bring desire to a frenzy, in which case you are in a good position to bring off a wonderful climax. ~ Colin Greenland
Writing Skills quotes by Colin Greenland
The triumph of human identity and worth over the pathology of human destruction glows virtually everywhere in Levi's writing. ~ Primo Levi
Writing Skills quotes by Primo Levi
Writing about Aboriginal themes means joining the dots from the colonial policies of the past to the problems faced by First Nations, Métis, and Inuit today. It means acknowledging the wrongs and the pain. ~ Lynda A. Archer
Writing Skills quotes by Lynda A. Archer
But even writing the column for the 'Telegraph,' that idea of working to deadlines, which as an actor that's not something you have to do in the same way. It's excited me into wanting to do a bit more. ~ Dan Stevens
Writing Skills quotes by Dan Stevens
Writing fiction, like reading fiction, is a practice in empathy. ~ Jennifer Haigh
Writing Skills quotes by Jennifer Haigh
I gasp, because Isn't that just exactly what I've been doing too: writing poems and scattering them to the winds with the same hope as Gram that someone, someday, somewhere might understand who I am, who my sister was, and what happened to us. ~ Jandy Nelson
Writing Skills quotes by Jandy Nelson
There is of course a deep spiritual need which the pilgrimage seems to satisfy, particularly for those hardy enough to tackle the journey on foot. ~ Edwin Mullins
Writing Skills quotes by Edwin Mullins
Why try to be someone you're not? Life is hard enough without adding impersonation to the skills required. ~ Robert Breault
Writing Skills quotes by Robert Breault
There was a darkness simmering in him, something beneath the surface that he fought hard to conceal. As terrifying as it was, it was also alluring in a way. Seductive even. Something about his savage skills was damn sexy. "Get ~ Cassia Brightmore
Writing Skills quotes by Cassia Brightmore
Your outrageous and reckless chaos is the only reason you are able to beat me in any strategy game," Seurat said. "It certainly has nothing to do with your innate skills. ~ Brian Herbert
Writing Skills quotes by Brian Herbert
Writing is the dancing of words, sometimes it is beautiful and meaningful, sometimes it is not. ~ Debasish Mridha
Writing Skills quotes by Debasish Mridha
Whenever people used to ask me what I wanted to be when I was older, I would always say that I wanted to be a singer. When I was 12, I decided I would do something about it, so I started writing songs. ~ Eliza Doolittle
Writing Skills quotes by Eliza Doolittle
Often I think writing is a sheer paring away of oneself leaving always something thinner, barer, more meagre. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
Writing Skills quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
You spend most of your time as a director trying to move forward with the movie. It happens on a daily basis, if not more than once a day, that you are struggling with budgetary constraints. Whereas when you're writing, the limitation that you have is your imagination. So it's decidedly non-pragmatic. ~ Charlie Kaufman
Writing Skills quotes by Charlie Kaufman
Prague is not, strictly speaking, travel writing but it is, among other things, an excellent example of what travel writing is becoming, if indeed it hasn't already done so ... People are no longer so easily satisfied by the mere travel impressions of some outsider much like themselves. Instead they gravitate towards writers who actually have lived not simply in, but inside, a location for an extended period, as one lives inside one's clothes. ~ George Fetherling
Writing Skills quotes by George Fetherling
A gaping chasm separates what we try to be aware of and what we actually are aware of. And I don't care how long your yardstick is, there's no measuring that drop. What I can set down here in writing only amounts to a catalog. Not a novel, not literature, not even art. Just a notebook with a line ruled down the center. And maybe a lesson or two in it somewhere. ~ Haruki Murakami
Writing Skills quotes by Haruki Murakami
Mara : I'm too selfish to leave you
Noah Shaw : I'm too selfish to let you ~ Michelle Hodkin
Writing Skills quotes by Michelle Hodkin
I think I've never left my house to take a plane without writing my will. There must be about 30 wills in my drawers, everywhere, in the kitchen. Everywhere, I have wills because I write wills more easily than I write love letters. ~ Sophie Calle
Writing Skills quotes by Sophie Calle
Ernest Hemingway talked about how writing is opening up a vein and bleeding onto the page. You prepared to do that? ~ Craig Lancaster
