Favorite Quotes about Writing: . . . with writing, you start where you are, and you usually do it poorly. You just do it-you do it afraid. And something happens. --Anne Lamott

Few of us make our living from writing, and the concept of writer tends to carry allsorts of cultural baggage, like creative genius and suffering. But if we write regularly, we are writers. I’ve found that students and adult professionals who write get a big boost by acknowledging that they are writers-a surprisingly mysterious and difficult inner adjustment of the mind and feelings. --Peter Elbow

You learn to write by reading and writing, writing and reading. As a craft it’s acquired through the apprentice system, but you choose your own teachers. Sometimes they’re alive, sometimes dead. --Margaret Atwood
