Writers, Writing

Whether you are a writer or not, be original-and you can. You are different! In all the history of mankind, there never has been-and never will be-another person like you. Your thoughts and personality, like your fingerprints, are your own. Originality-not imitation-makes leaders. You do not push buttons for originality; you pay with time and work. Gone With the Wind was the reward for Margaret Mitchell, who confessed to me, ``I am a very slow worker. It takes me two or three months to write a chapter.''
Frank A. Dickson

I never know why I write about anything. People I've known or subjects that move me invariably lead me to putting words on paper.
Tennessee Williams

Frustration is some kind of useful part of a writer's makeup. So is an inferiority complex. The challenge to beat these feelings is enough to impel most people to succeed in their chosen field, if only to prove to themselves that they are not deficient. Unless you are convinced that you are a great writer and are prepared to starve in a garret, having another job does not impede your development as a writer.
Jean Leroy; Sell Them a Story
