Sunday thoughts from Jack Kerouac, Sylvia Plath, William Faulkner, Mark Twain

 

Good afternoon everyone. I hope you're having fun today. As a children's author, I thought I'd post quotes related to wrtiing today. I hope you enjoy them.

“One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.”
― Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums

“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, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
― William Faulkner

“The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter. ’tis the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.”
― Mark Twain, The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain
