^ I'm known to a lot of people as a "sweetheart" but don't let that fool you... you make one false move, I'll tear your head off
^ I am currently fascinated with Dragons and anything having to do with them, so if you have any information or pointers about them I would deeply appreciate it if you were to share that with me since I am going to be writing a Dragon story


Here are some of my favorite quote about writing that I think sum it up pretty well:

"Write something to suit yourself and many people will like it; write something to suit everybody and scarcely anyone will care for it."
Jesse Stuart

"The work never matches the dream of perfection the artist has to start with."
William Faulkner

"I am irritated by my own writing. I am like a violinist whose ear is true, but whose fingers refuse to reproduce precisely the sound he hears within."
Gustave Flaubert

"Writing is the flip side of sex – it's good only when it's over."
Hunter S. Thompson

"Easy reading is damned hard writing."
Anonymous

"The only thing I was fit for was to be a writer, and this notion rested solely on my suspicion that I would never be fit for real work, and that writing didn't require any."
Russell Baker

"Hardly anybody ever writes anything nice about introverts. Extroverts rule. This is rather odd when you realise that about nineteen writers out of twenty are introverts. We are been taught to be ashamed of not being 'outgoing'. But a writer's job is ingoing."
Ursula K. LeGuin

"Exercise the writing muscle every day, even if it is only a letter, notes, a title list, a character sketch, a journal entry. Writers are like dancers, like athletes. Without that exercise, the muscles seize up."
Jane Yolen

"The human mind is like umbrella. It functions best when open."
Max Gropius

"Be like a duck, my mother used to tell me. Remain calm on the surface and paddle like hell underneath."
Michael Caine

"It's hard for me to believe that people who read very little - or not at all in some cases - should presume to write and expect people to like what they have written. Can I be blunt on this subject? If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time - or the tools - to write. Simple as that."
Stephen King

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
Albert Einstein

"The test of any good fiction is that you should care something for the characters; the good to succeed, the bad to fail. The trouble with most fiction is that you want them all to land in hell, together, as quickly as possible."
Mark Twain

"Abuse is often service. There is nothing so dangerous to an author as silence."
Samuel Johnson




To quote my friend what writing feels like:

"but to see blood, sweat and tears transform into your own personal work of art and making every tiny little adjustment until it feels perfect to you all culminating into that one moment when youre satisfied is right on par with what people would call a brain-orgasm"
-Stefan Sochinsky







That's about it, I think...
