INSPIRATION

 *  ― Ernest Hemingway **


 * “If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.” **
 * ― Stephen King **


 * “You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write.” **
 * ― Saul Bellow **


 * “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 **


 * “After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.” **

 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 80%;">“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.” **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 80%;"> ― William Faulkner **
