Zen saying

An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.

"If I had my life to live over again, I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once a week."

Charles Darwin

"Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man." --Francis Bacon

"And in one sense, no matter whom they're based on, every character you  create will be yourself. Even if you've never killed anyone, your murderer's rage will be drawn from memories of your own most extreme anger. Our characters' emotions draw on our own emotions. Until telepathy is common, our own emotions are the only ones we've intimately experienced. They're our default setting, and you can't help but incorporate them inside other characters' heads -- no matter where those other characters come from." Nancy Kress (March 2004 - Writer's Digest).

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a  
necessary ingredient in living. It's a way of looking at life  
through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and  
that enables you to laugh at life's realities."  
--Dr. Seuss  

"To live creatively free, do what you know how to do now then 'act as if' you know how to do the rest."

• Sark

The desire to give voice and the desire to be published
sometimes feel like the same thing, but they're not. The
dream that comes from your white-hot center and the dream
of fame-they are not the same."

~Robert Olen Butler
From Where You Dream: The Process of Writing Fiction

"There is no such thing as finding time to write. This is a fallacy. If you look for time to write, you won't find it. Instead, you'll find something else to do. Forget finding time to write. What you have to do is make time to write. How and when is up to you." --Brian Keene

"Ideas come from the strangest places."

• Joyce Carol Oates

"Daydreaming is writing. Lie down and fantasize about your characters or subject. Let your mind roam. When you hook a good idea, reel it in by writing about it."

• Marcia Golub

"A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit".-- **Richard Bachman

“Real success is finding your lifework in the work that you love.”

--David McCullough (1933 - )

"You can get anything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want. " ---Zig Zigler

"Failure -- no, I shouldn't say 'failure,' rather, the 'lack of success' never frightened me. Even if this book never sold or caught any attention, it would still be the same book." --Arundhati Roy

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”

by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

"Opportunities? They are all around us... There is power living latent everywhere waiting for the observant eye to discover it."--
Marden, Orison Swett

"Plot is no more than footprints left in the snow after your characters have run by on their way to incredible destinations. Plot is observed after the fact rather than before. It cannot precede action. It is the chart that remains when an action is through. That is all Plot ever should be. It is human desire let run, running, and reaching a goal. It cannot be mechanical. It can only be dynamic." --Ray Bradbury

Today is the day that yesterday ends and tomorrow begins.  --me

"Great art is the expression of a solution of the conflict between the demands of the world without and that within."

"Next to the originator of a good sentence is the first quoter of it."
Author: Emerson

"The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible."
– Vladimir Nabakov

"To express the emotions of life is to live. To express the life of emotions is to make art."

• Jane Heap

"There are many reasons why novelists write -- but they all have one thing in common: a need to create an alternative world." --John Fowles

"Reading a good novel  is a psychic event; you are immediately transported to the center of the writer's mind"--  Me.....

"Wherever you go...there you are"

"If you want your life to be a magnificent story, then begin by realizing that you are the author and everyday you have the opportunity to write a new page" -- Mark Houlahan
