Five Great Quotations about Writing Process

“I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all.” - Richard Wright

“The writer’s silent mind is a period of intermission before orchestrating a symphony of words.” - Khaled Talib

“There’s a magic to letting a story and its people unfold with witchcraft and late nights and walks in the woods. You don’t lead a story. You follow it.” - Kate Inglis

“Writing is rewriting. The rough draft is just that. You can’t polish what you haven’t written.” - Vincent H. O’Neil

“Getting completely lost, coming unstrung and unbound, arriving at unknown and unexpected places, is, for me, a critical part of writing.” - Louise DeSalvo
