“When we sit down to write, we psychically enter a sanctuary. This safe haven is our own personal space where we can say whatever is on our mind, where we can talk about what matters most to us, where we can imagine the kind of world that we would like to live.”

“Folding the laundry, completing another project at work, or watching television for the next hour doesn’t build your writing muscles. It only leaves them flabby.”

“Every word I write is a seed that I may nurture into a small, beautiful poem or a tall, soaring tree.”

“...writing allows us to reposition ourselves so we can see what is otherwise in our mental blind spots or those things about oneself and the world that we neither can see nor understand from the spot where we stand.”

“My ideas are a shapeless mass that my writing molds into beauty.”

“Replace your old books with the book you've always wanted to write.”

“Replace your old books with the books you’ve always wanted to write.”

“Never be afraid to write what you believe. If the message speaks the truth, others will fear your words for you.”

“When I reach for my pen, nothing is out of reach.”

“Every word I write is another stroke that takes me to the shore of a completed book.”

“..here's the editor's prescription, writer: 1000 words daily until next checkup.”

“By writing, we partake in something greater than ourselves. Pick up pen and paper or take a seat at your computer today and create something of beauty.”

“Your first written sentence is the foundation of all of your dreams.”
