1 " When we sit down to write, we psychically enter a sanctuary. This safe haven is our own personal space where we can say whatever is on our mind, where we can talk about what matters most to us, where we can imagine the kind of world that we would like to live. "
― Rob Bignell , Writing Affirmations: A Collection of Positive Messages to Inspire Writers
2 " ..here's the editor's prescription, writer: 1000 words daily until next checkup. "
3 " When I reach for my pen, nothing is out of reach. "
4 " Replace your old books with the book you've always wanted to write. "
5 " My ideas are a shapeless mass that my writing molds into beauty. "

11 " Folding the laundry, completing another project at work, or watching television for the next hour doesn’t build your writing muscles. It only leaves them flabby. "
12 " By writing, we partake in something greater than ourselves. Pick up pen and paper or take a seat at your computer today and create something of beauty. "

18 " ...you are a writer the moment you start writing, not when you've sold your first book. "
19 " ...ugly interlopers threaten to choke off your story, depriving it of much-needed nutrition, sunlight and water. Identify and cut those weeds – the life-sucking adverbs, the shade-killing descriptions that don’t move the story forward, the crowding passive voice sentences. "
20 " Writing is the neck muscle allowing us to see the important stuff in our periphery. "
