“I still have no way to survive but to keep writing one line, one more line, one more line...”
― Yukio Mishima

“All good writing is built one good line at a time. You build a novel the same way you do a pyramid. One word, one stone at a time, underneath a full moon while the fingers bleed.”
― Kate Braverman

“All writers must go from now to once upon a time; all must take care not to be captured and held immobile by the past.”
― Margaret Atwood

“If something inside of you is real, we will probably find it interesting, and it will probably be universal. So you must risk placing real emotion at the center of your work. Write straight into the emotional center of things. Write toward vulnerability. Risk being unliked. Tell the truth as you understand it. If you’re a writer you have a moral obligation to do this. And it is a revolutionary act—truth is always subversive.”
― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
