Thoughts from Better Writers

Today there is a physical meet up for an online writing group I belong to. I'm quite looking forward to it. Report forthcoming. 

As I keep slogging through this revision, I felt I might keep myself inspired and the blog post brief today with a few quotes from better writers than myself. Anyone who knows me is well aware that one of my favorite authors of all time is Jack Kerouac (even if my stuff is nothing like his), so naturally I started there.  Enjoy! 

"It ain't whatcha write, it's the way atcha write it."
—Jack Kerouac

To gain your own voice, you have to forget about having it heard."
—Allen Ginsberg

"Cheat your landlord if you can and must, but do not try to shortchange the Muse. It cannot be done. You can't fake quality any more than you can fake a good meal."
—William S. Burroughs

"Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand."
—George Orwell
