4th August 2016 | for Creatives | creative process, writing, KEEP CREATING, Walter Mosley |
"The first thing you have to know about writing is that it is something you must do every day. ... There are two reasons for this rule: getting the work done and connecting with your unconscious mind."
"I write three hours every morning. It's the first thing I do, Monday through Sunday, fifty-two weeks a year. Some days I miss but rarely does this happen more than once a month. Writing is a serious enterprise that takes a certain amount of constancy and rigor."
"Art takes time. Stories have their own heartbeat, and they will unfold at their own pace. All you have to do is to continue to show up and do the work. Every day."
"Writing, for me, works best as a daily practice, at least when I'm on a project. When I'm on a project, it's good to be immersed in it, to return to it, daily."
"Editorial decisions are subjective. .... Writing is an ongoing process and should never end with a rejection letter."
"You must always keep changing your process! Because there are two of you, one who wants to write and one who doesn't. The one who wants to write has to keep fooling the one who doesn't."
