Monday Quote Day!

Books are a uniquely portable magic.

{Stephen King}

Any word you have to hunt for in a thesaurus is the wrong word. There are no exceptions to this rule.

{Stephen King}

Description begins in the writer’s imagination, but should finish in the reader’s. 

{Stephen King}

Perhaps I write for no one. Perhaps for the same person children are writing for when they scrawl their names in the snow.

{Margaret Atwood}

Don't say it was delightful; make us say delightful when we've read the description. You see, all those words (horrifying, wonderful, hideous, exquisite) are only like saying to your readers, ‘Please will you do the job for me.’

{C.S. Lewis}

Cram your head with characters and stories. Abuse your library privileges. Never stop looking at the world, and never stop reading to find out what sense other people have made of it. If people give you a hard time and tell you to get your nose out of a book, tell them you're working. Tell them it's research. Tell them to pipe down and leave you alone.

{Jennifer Weiner}

Nothing's a better cure for writer's block than to eat ice cream right out of the carton. 

{Don Roff}

A word after a word after a word is power.

{Margaret Atwood}

Happy Monday and happy writing, Zigzaggers!!!
