jobs writing making-time
You don't find time to write. You make time. It's my job.
writing pleasure wells
You can't write well what you don't read for pleasure. If it doesn't entertain you, it's not going to entertain anyone else.
believe writing moments
I don't believe for one moment you can write well what you wouldn't read for pleasure.
writing firsts stories
I generally write a first draft that's pretty lean. Just get the story down.
writing laptops
I do indeed write on the road. My laptop goes with me everywhere.
writing process
I loved the process of writing.
book writing loving-what-you-do
I never had a plan, except to write. I love what I do, and have from the beginning. Loving what you do makes it a lot easier to work, every day, to face the tough spots and heel in for the long haul. Nothing against plans; they work for some people. But for me, if I'd been planning, worrying about numbers, trying to micro-manage my career, I wouldn't have focused on the writing. If you don't write, you're not read. If you're not read, you don't sell. So that's my Master Plan, I guess. Write the books, let the agent agent, the editor edit, the publisher publish.
believe writing america
I believe strongly in writing groups such as Romance Writers Of America that offer support, information and networking.
book writing discipline
A writer never finds the time to write. A writer makes it. If you don't have the drive, the discipline, and the desire, then you can have all the talent in the world, and you aren't going to finish a book.
writing pages blank
I write every day. Even if I'm not writing well, I write through it. I can fix a bad page. I can't fix a blank one.
writing knowing expectations
If you write in category, you write knowing there's a framework, there are reader expectations.
writing plagiarism difficult
Certainly the plagiarism, and dealing with the fallout of it, was the most difficult thing I've ever faced since I started writing.
song writing school
So, you’re hitting on Clare the Fair.” “I’m not hitting on her. I’m exploring the possibility of seeing her on social terms.” “He’s hitting on her,” Owen said around a mouthful of chips. “You’ve still got that thing you had for her back in high school. Are you still writing bad song lyrics about heartbreak?” “Suck me. And they weren’t that bad.” “Yeah, they were,” Ryder disagreed. “But at least now we don’t have to listen to you playing your keyboard and howling them down the hall.
writing cleaners
I would hope that my writing's cleaner than it was when I started.
