MQD – Loving Your Writing! Part 2

To be successful, the first thing to do is fall in love with your work.

{Sister Mary Lauretta}

Writing does not mean putting aside your head to write from the heart. Instead, writing is an expression of the emotional and the logical coming together.

{Martha Alderson}

Plotting is like sex. Plotting is about desire and satisfaction, anticipation and release.

{Colin Greenland}

I can't write without a reader. It's precisely like a kiss–you can't do it alone.

{John Cheever} 

Your true passion should feel like breathing, it’s that natural.

{Oprah Winfrey}

Love is easy, and I love writing. You can’t resist love. Someone says something, you get an idea, and you’re in love.

{Ray Bradbury}

When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.

{John Ruskin}

The one story worth telling is the one that strikes most nearly to the heart. For each person, that story will be different, for each heart is like a harp with its own distinct tuning. When the melody of love vibrates the strings, that one story is the distinctive music we shall make.

{Caitlin Matthews}
