In my writing, as much as I could, I tried to find the good,
and praise it.

I write what I like

Most so-called writers keep writing and writing with the hope to, some day, find something to say.

Good writing doesn’t come naturally, though most people seem to think it does. Professional writers are constantly bearded by people who say they’d like to “try a little writing sometime” — meaning when they retire from their real profession, like insurance or real estate, which is hard. Or they say, “I could write a book about that.” I doubt it. Writing is hard work. A clear sentence is no accident. Very few sentences come out right the first time, or even the third time. Remember this in moments of despair. If you find that writing is hard, it’s because it is hard.

...what I write is smarter than I am. Because I can rewrite it.

The faster I write the better my output. If I'm going slow, I'm in trouble. It means I'm pushing the words instead of being pulled by them.

I write because I cannot NOT write.

To write simply is as difficult as to be good.

Writing is like breathing, it's possible to learn to do it well, but the point is to do it no matter what.

I wish I could write. I get these ideas but I never seem to be able to put them in words.

When talented people write badly, it's generally for one of two reasons: Either they're blinded by an idea they feel compelled to prove of they're driven by an emotion they must express. When talented people write well, it is generally for this reason: They're moved by a desire to touch the audience.

Writing well means believing in your writing and believing in yourself, taking risks, daring to be different, pushing yourself to excel. You will write only as well as you make yourself write.

I write to discover what I think.

The best advice is not to write what you know, it’s to write what you like.
