Inspire Me Monday #96 – Week Of November 3, 2013
1) Share “What’s Inspiring You” by creating your own Inspire Me Monday post! You can include any creative challenges you’ve discovered – any quotes you love – any bloggers who have inspired you – anything that has inspired you and will inspire us too!
Obviously NaBloPoMo will be my inspiration for all of November. This is a challenge to write, everyday, no matter what, It is a commitment. Interestingly, when I looked up sage advice from famous authors, their advice boiled down to the very same thing. Write, just sit down and start writing. Period. So now I present humourous yet pithy quotes from famous authors on the art of writing but first, a summary of famous author’s advice.
If you want to be a writer you obviously must write.
Don’t talk about writing,
dream about writing
or read about writing,
just sit down and start writing
anything and everything,
even if it is a stream of consciousness,
even if it is drivel,
it doesn’t matter at first;
just get in the habit of writing,
editing can come later.

I love Stephen King’s advice, and one that is becoming harder and harder to do — we write on our computers, but then the email tone distracts us, or Facebook calls us, or a reminder pops up on our calendar. . . . focus is a challenge and a discipline. And challenges and disciplines make us better all the way around 🙂 So write on!
