“I prefer to be on the side of losers, the misunderstood or lonely people rather than writing about the strong and powerful.”
― Núria Añó

“The movement
Of the body is

Where poetry
Begins”
― Clint Catalyst, Cottonmouth Kisses

“Writing creatively is a process of self-consumption that requires one to dive deeply inside of oneself with no guarantee of reemergence.”
― Ashim Shanker, Sinew of the Social Species

“The brain is like a muscle; books are the diet and writing is the workout.”
― Stewart Stafford

“Writing analogies are as abundant as ants at a picnic. We love nothing better than a good analogy, a “life-is-like-thisâ€� on the page. I breathe and out pops another analogy. As of this moment, I am sole owner of 1,643 analogies.”
― Chila Woychik, On Being a Rat and Other Observations

“You want to get your book to press. You rush it through. Revision number twenty—done. Do you really need twenty more? Yes. A half-baked book is a half-birthed child. It aborts, is put on life support; reviewers line the hall to pull the plug.”
― Chila Woychik, On Being a Rat and Other Observations

“Writing to me is like hitting the herb. No problems, Mon. No worries.”
― A.K. Kuykendall

“To devise situation where the protagonist is force to tell a lie, a useful figure for the writer is the Devil. Like the Devil, the author actively searches for flaws in a protagonist's character and seeks to exploit these flaws...As an author, your job is to find ways of exposing the lies of your protagonist.”
― David Mura, A Stranger's Journey: Race, Identity, and Narrative Craft in Writing

“In general, I start with an idea and a general gist of how I want the story to end, and I let the characters write through me. Research along the way informs my characters of where they must go and what they must do when they get there. Fate and Chance have roles, too, pushing the characters out of their comfort zone and into circumstances where they must either grow, or die. Well. Grow or get really uncomfortable. (My stories thus far are not THAT heavy.)”
― Kristi Cramer

“There is no such thing as an 'unemployed writer', only an unemployed mind”
― Kevin Cowdall, Paper Gods and Iron Men

“It is "vibration" that creates our world. Everyone vibrates. We always utter words in our mind. Thus we create sounds continuously. Frequency differs. Tuning your frequency brings the differences. A good writer has the creativity to polish the broken piano to tune it up in a right tune. Reading their books is the key to choose your favorite frequencies. Now start vibrating and note it down.”
― Surajit Sarkar

“Does the protagonist deny the irreconcilable conflict? Does she lie about it- to herself and others? Does she make a choice between two irreconcilable desires? Then clearly her choice of one over the other reveals something essential about her that was not apparent at the beginning of the story. The protagonist-sometimes consciously, sometimes unconsciously- must reckon then with a new understanding of her character and who she really is and her place in and relationship to the world.”
― David Mura, A Stranger's Journey: Race, Identity, and Narrative Craft in Writing

“Words sing and dance too!”
― Avijeet Das
