Even if I am goofing off, responding to email and/or using writing prompts, the words flow once started.

However, in the past I have suffered from blocks that seem more about the reason for writing: is it worth it, or just a waste of time? Unless you have a deep need to write, I think the motivation just won't be there over time.(less)
Cara Swann The enjoyment of creating characters and having them come to life! I worked as a journalist, but writing fiction is far more satisfying.

Quotes by Cara Swann  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Life can't ever really defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for life itself is a writer's lover until death-- fascinating, cruel, lavish, warm, cold, treacherous, constant." --Edna Ferber

"The great gift is the passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites. It gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination." --Elizabeth Hardwick”
Cara Swann, Quest for Destiny
