Get inspired by the world's best writers.
Quotes illustration
“Plot springs from character... I've always sort of believed that these people inside me- these characters- know who they are and what they're about and what happens, and they need me to help get it down on paper because they don't type.”

More from Anne Lamott

“I don't think you have time to waste not writing because you are afraid you won't be good at it.”
“Rituals are a good signal to your unconscious that it is time to kick in.”
“That thing you had to force yourself to do-the actual act of writing-turns out to be the best part.”
“Write regularly, whether you feel like writing or not, and whether you think what you're writing is any good or not.”
“You just have to keep getting out of your own way so that whatever it is that wants to be written can use you to write it.”
