Tips For New Writers
Doris Lessing.
"I don't know much about creative writing programs. But they're not telling the truth if they don't teach, one, that writing is hard work, and, two, that you have to give up a great deal of life, your personal life, to be a writer."
Margaret Atwood.
Don't be afraid of failure. "A ratio of failures is built into the process of writing. The wastebasket has evolved for a reason."
Richard Bach.
Never stop trying. "A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit."
Isaac Asimov.
Use humor effectively." Jokes of the proper kind, properly told, can do more to enlighten questions of politics, philosophy, and literature than any number of dull arguments."
