I chose these quotes because they appeal to me. Teach Writing as a Process Not a Product (Don Murray)
The Daily Writing Routines of Great Writers (Maria Popova) 1. “I had a ritual once of lighting a candle and writing by its light and blowing it out when I was done for the night … also kneeling and praying before starting.”. (Jack Kerouac). 2.” I’m always in a hurry to get going, though in general I dislike starting the day. I first have tea and then, at about ten o’clock, I get under way and work until one. Then I see my friends and after that, at five o’clock, I go back to work and continue until nine. I have no difficulty in picking up the thread in the afternoon. When you leave, I’ll read the paper or perhaps go shopping. Most often it’s a pleasure to work.”. (Simone de Beauvoir). 3. “In an unmoored life like mine, sleep and hunger and work arrange themselves to suit themselves, without consulting me. I’m just as glad they haven’t consulted me about the tiresome details. What they have worked out is this: I awake at 5:30, work until 8:00, eat breakfast at home, work until 10:00, “. (Kurt Vonnegut). Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life (Anne Lamott) 1. “Writing a book is like driving a car at night, you can only see as far as the headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way”. (E.L. Doctorow)\ 2. When you ask god to into your life , you think he or she is going to come in to your psychic house, look around and see that you need a new floor or better furniture and that everything needs cleaning” (Marianne Williliamson) 3. The power of being cheerful in circumstances that we know to be desperate, writing can be a pretty desperate endeavor because it is about some of our deepest needs” (Chesterton)
