The Daily Writing Routines of Great Writers (Maria Popova) “When I am working on a book or a story I write every morning as soon after first light as possible. There is no one to disturb you and it is cool or cold and you come to your work and warm as you write” (Popova). “I get up at 4:00 am and work for five to six hours” (Popova). “A writer who waits for ideal conditions under which to work will die without putting a word on paper” (Popova). Bird by Bird (Anne Lamott) “But I am suggesting that there may be a close friend – who will read your finished drafts and give you an honest critique, let you know what does and doesn’t work, give you some suggestions on things you might take out or things on which you need to elaborate, ways in which to make your piece stronger” (Lamott 9). “Almost all good writing begins with terrible first effort. You need to start somewhere” (Lamott 7) “But beginners are learning to play and they need encouragement to keep their hands moving across the page” (Lamott 13). Zen in the Art of Writing (Ray Bradbury) “In quickness is truth. The faster you blurt, the more swiftly you write, the more honest you are” (Bradbury 13). "You stumble into it, mostly. You don't know what you're doing, and suddenly, it's done. You don't set out to reform a certain kind of writing. It evolves out of your own life and night scares. Suddenly you look around and see that you have done something almost fresh" (Bradbury 14). Well, if you are a writer, or hope to be one, similar lists, dredged out of the lop side of your brain, might well help you discover you, even as I flopped around and finally found me" (Bradbury 19). Our Quotes: “The first draft will never be your final draft” “You need to find your inner self to present your best writing” “The beginning of the day will give you fresh set of thoughts”
