My Favorite Quotes About Writing

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

Walt Disney

“Being a writer is a very peculiar sort of a job: it’s always you versus a blank sheet of paper (or a blank screen) and quite often the blank piece of paper wins.”

Neil Gaiman

“There’s no such thing as writer’s block. That was invented by people in California who couldn’t write.”

Terry Pratchett
