30th June 2016 | for Creatives | writing, David Baldacci, the creative life |
"Writing, for me, isn't a job; it's a lifestyle. So I treat it like that. I'm not always at the office, but I'm never done."
"The problem is that we view writing as a luxury, something special to allow ourselves as soon as we've taken care of the countless nagging duties that seem to come first. Once you put writing first, the rest of your life will fall into place."
"The joy of writing has propelled me from day to day and year to year."
"When work does not go well, no life is more miserable than that of a writer. But when it goes go well, when the illumination has focused a work so that it goes limpidly and flows, there is no gladness like it."
"When it comes to Internet platforms and writing websites, Anderson is blunt with her views, advising writers to replace online surfing with a writing practice."
"One of the essentials is to create a vacuum in my life which can only be satisfactorily filled by some form of creative work—whether it be writing, painting, sculpting, composing or just building a boat."
