Keep on writing!

A few author quotes to encourage my fellow writers! Don’t stop and don’t quit until it’s all on paper! 

“I notice that you use plain, simple language, short words and brief sentences. That is the way to write English–it is the modern way and the best way. Stick to it; don’t let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in.”

– Mark Twain

“Any man who keeps working is not a failure. He may not be a great writer, but if he applies the old-fashioned virtues of hard, constant labor, he’ll eventually make some kind of career for himself as writer.”

– Ray Bradbury

“Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending.”

– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work.”

– Stephen King

“Write freely and as rapidly as possible and throw the whole thing on paper. Never correct or rewrite until the whole thing is down. Rewrite in process is usually found to be an excuse for not going on. It also interferes with flow and rhythm which can only come from a kind of unconscious association with the material…”

– John Steinbeck
