Anne Lamott on Writing

“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.”

“If you are hoping to find your self-worth and fulfillment in other peoples' opinion of your writing, you will never find it.”
