The Writing Life
Thoughts along the Writing Journey:

A book, a “shortie” being written “on the go”
“We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.”
– Ernest Hemingway
from http://www.hemingwaythoughts.wordpress.com
as “this quickly forgetting total non-techno-geek” has to keep practising on the publishing process
…to make “purrfect” (within his limited limits)
“I’d like to tell you how wonderful I am. I’m an excellent writer. I’ve won too many awards to list. I’ve sold a bunch of books. I can do 10 push-ups without a break, and while I can’t run a four-minute mile, I can drive it in about a minute and a half…”
“Life is far too important (a subject) to be taken too seriously”
“Do not go where the path
may lead, go instead where there
is no path and leave a trail.”

Writers on Writing
A brand new book (published a few minutes ago!)
Writers on Writing: Thoughts on the Writing Journey
“What(ever) you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”
– Johann von Goethe, German poet, novelist, playwright
“Be bold and unseen forces come to one’s aid.”
Love that one (perhaps the story of my ‘little’ life, sorry, m)!
from http://www.thecreativewritingcourse.wordpress.com
Incidentally, the paperback (of this “quick/rough first draft”) has also just been published by Amazon (Createspace) and I’ve ordered a proof copy, so that I can more easily edit out the repetitions.
Anyway, enjoy and happy writing…
PS
“I truly believe we can ALL create and enthuse magic into ‘so-called humdrum little lives’. You don’t just have to be the choreographer, or the conductor of your life script – rather paint your life as the masterpiece it could (one day) be. There is a rich tapestry of talent in every human soul, that flows through the spirit of God. So don’t spend your days stringing and tuning your instrument; start making and playing your unique tunes of music right now.”

“I know when a writer’s in trouble….when he/she resorts to writing about writing.”
– novelist Guy Ableman to his agent Doesn’t sound very exciting (or promising for me) then… does it!
from https://thecreativewritingcourse.wordpress.com/category/books-by-craig-lock/
“A writer’s really deep in the smelly brown stuff when they desperately resort to running creative writing courses!”
“Those who can do, those who can’t teach.”*
* however, this definitely does not apply to school-teachers, who do a most valuable job!

“Life is far too important (a subject) to be taken too seriously”
“I make art through writing…and words are my tools, my ‘paint-brush on the canvas of life’.”

Writers on “Skid Row”
Jamie Whincup Burnout – Celebrating his third V8 Supercars championship
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, ‘Wow! What a Ride!”
– Hunter S Thompson
“I want to write the way Australian Super-car driver, Craig Lowndes drives and power-slides his powerful V8 Holden Super-car… with wild enthusiasm and a sense of abandonment, yet combined with the artists craft and smooth style of a Jamie Whincup (craig’s team-mate), a Stirling Moss, a Jim Clark, and especially that of the great Ayrton Senna, living on the razor-blade edge of life.”
(thanks Craig and Jamie, for the great pleasure you give me watching “you guys” race here “across the ditch” on TV)
“a petrol-head (and definitely not an “arty-farty airey-fairey type”) writer”
