Writing Quotes helps you to be good to yourself

The first quote I thought was written by somebody else, but Walter "Red" Smith apparently was the first person to have it directly attributed to him-



"There's nothing to writing. All you have to do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein."

- Walter Wellesley "Red" Smith


"You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you."

- Ray Bradbury


"Better to write for yourself and have no public, than write for the public and have no self."

- Cyril Connolly

"I have made this letter longer, because I have not had the time to make it shorter."

- Blaise Pascal


The above quotes came from The Creative Screenwriting Weekly Newsletter.


"The work never matches the dream of perfection the artist has to start with."

- William Faulkner
