Writing is Work


"Writing is physical work. It's sweaty work. You just can't will yourself to become a good writer. You really have to work at it."
~ Will Haygood

"I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have."
~Thomas Jefferson

Yeah, you can't just wait for an inspiration. I like deadlines cause they make you write even when the Muses aren't working for you. Hahaha, this reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes.
Calvin: You can't turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood.
Hobbes: What mood is that?
Calvin: last-minute panic!
