Writing Quotes
-
In terms of whether I use humor to allow me or my readers to come up for air, I don't think I put that much thought into it.

I know that's kind of weird and selfish, but I write because it's fun, not because I need to put bread on the table.
Daniel Olivas

I'm not very eloquent about things like this, but I think that writing and photography go together. I don't mean that they are related arts, because they're not.

It's about honesty, or truth telling, and a way to find it in yourself, how to need it and learn from it.
Eudora Welty

Writing on a computer feels like a recipe for writer's block. I can type so fast that I run out of thoughts, and then I sit there and look at the words on the screen, and move them around, and never get anywhere. Whereas in a notebook I just keep plodding along, slowly, accumulating sentences, sometimes even surprising myself.
