...writing allows us to reposition ourselves so we can see what is otherwise in our mental blind spots or those things about oneself and the world that we neither can see nor understand from the spot where we stand.

Replace your old books with the book you've always wanted to write.

Replace your old books with the books you__e always wanted to write.

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.

Every word I write is a seed that I may nurture into a small, beautiful poem or a tall, soaring tree.

Never be afraid to write what you believe. If the message speaks the truth, others will fear your words for you.

Your first written sentence is the foundation of all of your dreams.

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.

Folding the laundry, completing another project at work, or watching television for the next hour doesn__ build your writing muscles. It only leaves them flabby.

..here's the editor's prescription, writer: 1000 words daily until next checkup.

Every word I write is another stroke that takes me to the shore of a completed book.

When I reach for my pen, nothing is out of reach.

My ideas are a shapeless mass that my writing molds into beauty.

Tell me once more about the eternal surf.

Through the act of writing, a writer learns more about himself than he could ever imagine.

Often as writers, we are surprised by what we learn about ourselves. It runs counter to what we__e thought about who we are. But it is closer to the truth.

The beginning of every writing session is like setting down a road unknown.

Every moment offers a great opportunity to write.
