I like to think that motivational and inspirational quotes about writing are crumbs that lead one to the table of action. Let’s face it, we're all susceptible to emotional ruts and bouts of laziness we call writer’s block but in the end the only way to write is to write…here are a few quotes I peek at every now and again when I need to shovel some coals into the writing furnace…

"Writing is the best way to talk without being interrupted." Pretty much sums up my reason for writing!
ReplyDeleteNice dude... thanks for these quotes... like it....
