For my first entry, I wanted to share some of my favorite literary quotes in an attempt to inspire me.
"Genius creates and taste preserves. Taste is the good sense of genius; without taste, genius is only sublime folly." - Alexander Pope
"There are no laws for the novel. There never have been, nor can there ever be." - Doris Lessing
"As soon as coffee is in your stomach, there is a general commotion. Ideas begin to move... Similes arise... The paper is covered. Coffee is your ally and writing ceases to be a struggle." - Honore de Balzac
"Good writers are those who keep the language efficient. That is to say, keep it accurate, keep it clear." - Ezra Pound
"What romantic terminology called genius or talent or inspiration is nothing other than finding the right road empirically, following one's nose, taking shortcuts." - Halo Calvino
About Me
- Sarah
- I am a former daily newspaper and regional magazine journalist. Lately my writing has been reduced to artfully crafted emails and sporadic marketing opportunities. Thus, I created a few blogs to keep up my writing practice.
