"When you just dont have time"
There are so many of us nowadays that just seem to run out of time every single day. It's also the time in which we always wish for a Time Machine to go back and get everything we need done. Thus is why I am now putting this Article together.
Things have been busy for me. The WG is moving at top speed to get some really cool things set up for the community, and I too have been studying mad crazy for some major tests I have had coming up in my Univercity Classes.
Ok, if you haven't figured it out yet, this is an apologetic article, in the form of C.L. Lewis apologist. As such, I have put together for your reading pleasre, a plethora of quotes to ponder and delight at.
Until next time!
The beautiful part of writing is that you don't have to get it right the first time, unlike, say, a brain surgeon.
~ Robert Cromier
Read, read, read. Read everything - trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.
~ William Faulkner
The ideal view for daily writing, hour on hour, is the blank brick wall of a cold-storage warehouse. Failing this, a stretch of sky will do cloudless if possible.
~ Edna Ferber
The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.
~ Mark Twain
There is no royal path to good writing; and such paths as exist do not lead through neat critical gardens, various as they are, but through the jungles of self, the world, and of craft.
~ Jessamyn West
Looking back, I imagine I was always writing. Twaddle it was too. But better far write twaddle or anything, anything, than nothing at all.
~Katherine Mansfield
