16th November 2017 | for Creatives | Neil Gaiman, artist integrity, writing, KEEP CREATING, never stop LEARNING |
"Sooner or later, before it ever reaches perfection, you will have to let it go and move on and start to write the next thing. Perfection is like chasing the horizon. Keep moving."
"The practice of writing is a kind of self-instruction that no number of writing workshops can teach you. You have to learn how to do it yourself. The writing makes you a writer, it builds your discipline, enhances your talent, and draws froth the reserves of your character."
"If you're at the stage where you only have one or two books out please take this to heart: It will get better, and it will become easier. All you have to do is keep writing, and keep learning."
"Whatever it is you do, my advice is simple: Don't let anyone tell you no."
"Every great writer was once a beginner. Remember that. Don't beat yourself up for not knowing something. Go out and learn it."
"The thing I did right was I was incredibly persistent. I never gave up; I never didn't believe. My attitude was, I don't care what it takes, this is what I want."
