Great Quotes for Writers and Other Artists

Sometimes, a good quote inspires you. Sometimes, they’ll make you see art in a different way. I used to stick with quotes about writing but I started looking up ones dealing with creativity, imagination and art in general. Don’t know why it’s so easy to forget that writers are artists. 
Enjoy this quotes. Feel free to share.

“A story is a letter that the author writes to himself…”  ~Carlos Ruiz Zafón

“That’s the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet.” ~Jhumpa Lahiri

  • Hold on to Why

     Awhile ago, I lost sight of what I said in the post Why I write. Writing stopped being therapeutic. It felt far too much like work. This is no longer the case but then, it became harder and harder to actually sit in front of my computer or before a journal and give my characters…
