Sage and humorous advice for writers, from writers. I needed to hear this today, as I am feeling a wee bit discouraged.
Common themes: don’t use adverbs, stop beating yourself up, cut and cut some more, quit worrying about the dirty dishes, keep writing no matter what.
My personal favorite (for today, anyway)?
“Only bad writers think that their work is really good.” (Anne Enright)
I just noticed that Cory Doctorow posted this same link on BoingBoing at 10:47 PM. At least I know he reads NPR news!
