Quotes by Deanne Welsh (?)

“The easiest ways to show up are to know: Where you will write? When you will write? What you will write? Schedule it. If it’s not scheduled, nothing will get done. I only write when inspiration strikes. Fortunately, it strikes at nine every morning. William Faulkner If God is calling us to write, why not treat it as a non-negotiable vocation?”
― Deanne Welsh, When God Calls A Writer: Moving Past Insecurity to Write with Confidence

“When we go public consistently with our writing, we build trust with others. As we treat ourselves as writers and respect our writing, others will begin to as well. It begins with the writer.”
