Courage of an Author

“I’m often asked which author I am most inspired by, but I’m inspired by all authors. It takes a great deal of courage to pour your [sic] onto paper and watch silently as the world judges it loudly.” 

― Charity Parkerson

The Least of It

“People approach writers, assuming we pull a perfect text out of our nose each time (well spelled). Spelling is the least of it.” 

― Sara Levine, Touchstone Anthology of Contemporary Creative Nonfiction: Work from 1970 to the Present

Jealous, Your Writing Is

“Authors always carry a means for scribbling and an excuse for pausing, often inopportunely, to record those fleeting sparks of creative fancy that might otherwise vanish like a wisp in the wind if ignored.  Writing is a jealous and needy lover.” 

― Richelle E. Goodrich
