You should go to your room every day at nine o’clock and say to yourself, ‘I am going to sit here for four hours and write!’ If you sit waiting for inspiration, you will sit there till you are an old man. (Winston Churchill)
It seemed to me that I had undertaken too lofty a theme for my powers, so much so that I was afraid to enter upon it; and so I remained for several days desiring to write and afraid to begin. (Dante)
Writing is trench warfare. You take it trench by trench until you've finally won the battle. What you keep hoping for when you start to type that first line is that there will be an atomic bomb and it will be over quickly! (Pen Densham)
No wonder writing is hard.... the two writing muscles operate at cross purposes: creativity is strong only if critical thinking is weak, or vice versa. ()
