Five Quotations about Writing as Self-Discovery

“What is needed is, in the end, simply this: solitude, great inner solitude. Going into yourself and meeting no one for hours on end--that is what you must be able to attain.” - Rainer Maria Rilke

“Every writer is a narcissist. This does not mean that he is vain; it only means that he is hopelessly self-absorbed.” - Leo Rosten

“Reading and weeping opens the door to one's heart, but writing and weeping opens the window to one's soul.” - M. K. Simmons

“Writing is thinking on paper.” - William Zinsser

“If a story is in you, it has to come out.” - William Faulkner

Need an editor? Having your book, business document or academic paper proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. Whether you come from a big city like Greenville, South Carolina, or a small town like Cocklebiddy, Washington, I can provide that second eye.
