Quotes About Life Writing
‘…And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.’
Sylvia Plath
‘Writing isn’t about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. In the end, it’s about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well.’
Stephen King
‘You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.’
Anne Lamott
