WRITING RELATED QUOTES
"The best art risks most deeply. It is intended not for a group of readers but for one. It descends into the subterranean, the shameful, the fraught, the urgent the covert. What cannot be said aloud because it defies conversation. What cannot be said aloud because it exists only as this constellation of scenes, this concatenation of details on the page, but passes invisibly over the earth because you have not yet pointed a finger at it. Write what you care about. Don't write one more word that you don't care about. Don't waste any more of your life on what does not matter to you." -- Bonnie L. Friedman
"It's never to late to be what you might have been." -- George Elliot
"Don't be afraid of failure. Failure is the only thing that teaches, success does not. ...you have to be fearless." -- Patti Lupone
WRITER'S MENTIONED
Chris Abani
Victor LaValle
WRITING ADVICE WE'VE GOTTEN (paraphrased of course)
  • Ask yourself -- "Is the writing too precious?"
  • Do what serves the story.
  • Make sure something happens in the story.
  • Don't leave out the most important details.
  • Every word should be necessary.
