Writing is an art that requires so much excellence and passion which can’t be shown by any ordinary person. People who write know how hard it is to write that one single word that would fit perfectly in the whole narration. Writing word after word gives you some power and at the same time ensures that you are doing great.
The immense amount of confidence a writer receives after finishing a piece is strong but getting criticism on a piece written late at night can give a stronger pain.
There are a few things all of us as amateur writers can relate to. The sense of pride after writing something creative and a sense of sorrow when you don’t find the right words.
Motivation is a big thing for us. Every day you need a reason to get up and produce another masterpiece. A masterpiece that will attract the hearts of the readers. I know it isn’t easy rather with each passing day it becomes harder and harder but you still keep going because you know the importance of words when they are written instead of being spoken.
I like everyone else needed some inspiration to write after every criticism and strong quotes helped a lot along the way. This is an effort to gather some of the most inspiring quotes about writers or writing in general for you so that you also have that spark of writing still strong day after day, year after year.
