Don't let your past dictate your future,

A woman does not become whole until she has a baby.

A woman does not become whole, until she has a baby.

A women does not become whole, until she has a baby.

Writers are made, they are not born.

Have you noticed how prejudice still exists today? For instance, now they challenge famous people for their past achievements: People like Christopher Columbus and now even Vince Lombardi. Nothing surprises me. I never grew-up with prejudices against anyone. I don't care what color you are or where you came from. This sort of stuff to me never made sense. You see I grew up in an "educated family." Education teaches you not to be so ignorant.

Don't ever rely on one job, business contact, etc for your main source of income. Receive multiple sources of income for success.

Start having more confidence in yourself, and others will do the same.

Stop now and decide to never worry again about what others think about you.

Some of my greatest successes in business are simply the result of taking huge, calculated risks.

Get out of your comfort zone and go for it. I do this when I apply for lead acting parts in feature movies.

Forget about how old you are, and get busy.

You can have practically anything you want in this world, if you have great credit.

The internet is killing the art of writing. The big "publish" button begs you to publish even before you go back and make one single edit, and as if this was not enough, you have instant readers who praise your writing skills!-

I prefer to be on the side of losers, the misunderstood or lonely people rather than writing about the strong and powerful.

Love will find you when you least expect it to. It will come unannounced and find you in an unusual moment on the strangest of days!

On a writer’s path there are always some level of pain and solitude, life and death, love and hate, longing and fullness of soul, romance and separation, contemplation and adventure. And each one of them is constantly walking side by side in my lifetime. Always reachable by a thought.

A writer of any merit does not worry about being accepted everywhere. He must write to inspire, to change for the better or to challenge the status quo!

Greatness is achieved through kindness, compassion, and love.

Life is beauty simply breathing.

I used to be afraid about what people might say or think after reading what I had written. I am not afraid anymore, because when I write, I am not trying to prove anything to anyone, I am just expressing myself and my opinions. It’s ok if my opinions are different from those of the reader, each of us can have his own opinions. So writing is like talking, if you are afraid of writing, you may end up being afraid of talking

I am not a supporter of burning books; but like poison, some books should be kept away from simple minds who can't take in the strong content they provide

One author said "I write because I want to live a footprint in the sands of history.” It's hard to live a footprint in the sands of history when giants are passing through the same sands unless you are one of the giants

Every day, live in a way that honors who you are.

Transform into your dream.

In order to protect their good names for posterity, many writers never wrote what they thought or the truth as it stood. That's why truth still lies hidden in matters of power, sex and religion. No wonder they chose to do so, many who dared paid with their heads

If you are writing fiction, think like a god. Release all the power of your imagination; create worlds and destroy them at your will, create as many miracles as your story needs

Great characters- They are pivotal for a great plot. THEN a solid plot: Why then? If you do not have great characters it is impossible to create a good plot, nonetheless a solid one. Once you have built great characters for the scenes, there you have it. It’s just like the movies, you cannot have a great film if the characters are frail and their lines are weak as well. I guess great world-building comes along with a good plot. If there is something that will work fine in a novel is how you will develop from the theme. You’ve got to establish a good timeline, and from there it comes a world. You see the technical matters don’t match or matter as much to me. Even a poorly written story, if there is a good plot and great characters on it will make a divine combination There are simply many cases of it over the mainstream and that even reached the big screen.

Writing is a sickness only cured by writing.

The world would have been a better place if some men had just shut their mouths.

I am what I have ever read

We write, not because we claim to know more than others, but perhaps because we want to know more than others. Writers are explorers

Words disappear in the air, but writing remains. If you want something to be remembered about you, write it down

A writer is never alone, he is always with himself

You say you have nothing to write about? How do you find things to talk about? You can write about those things you like to talk about, that's your area of expertise

. If you want to write, just write anything that comes into your mind. You will be surprised at how you can force inspiration to stand on your side.

You can edit what you write. Why not edit what you say? If it hurts somebody, you can still offer an apology or withdraw your statements

Able writers let us into their minds and show us how they think and by that open our minds to ourselves

Sometimes I have a good idea, something I wish I could remember, and instead of writing it down, commit it to my memory only to disappear when I needed it. Write your ideas as they come, if you wait it will be too long and you may not recover it. It may get destroyed as it is to seed to and fro in the ever rushing river of our thoughts

If you are afraid of the critics you will never write a word

You never know what you will write until you write it

Write it as you see in your own perspective, you may be right or wrong but then what, that's how you see it

How do you feel when you read stuff written by dead authors? A visit by a ghost?

You cannot write if you are not angry

You cannot write if you are not on fire

Writing is sharing. You share what you have. Great writers have more to share

People speak even after their death. Only do speak those who have recorded their speech in writing before they die, the rest go silent forever

The power of a writer is that he is a god of sorts. He can create his own worlds and populate them with his own people, all by the powers of his imagination. It's the closest a man can come close to the gods. No wonder the most successful writers are considered immortals

Self-censorship is more efficient than any police. You write and say not what you really think, but what you believe is acceptable. By that process we lose those revolutionary ideas that could change society for the better

Many writers write because they’ve been there, seen that, did it and burnt their fingers

A writer reports on the universe. When he presents his credentials, the gates of heaven and hell are equally opened to him. He can hear the devil’s defense and god’s accusations. The guards at the king’s heart let him in. The writer can be anything and any one he wants. When he writes he is a god, he creates.

If I can write, who possibly can’t. Even drawing a line in the sand is writing

The power of the writer is to capture the thoughts live and present them as they appeared in his mind

Writing is self-pleasure

Writing is all about self-expression, we want to speak up, to get it off our chest. Whether we make an impact or not that is not for us to decide

If I had time, money and knowledge I could write about everything; but no problem, Google is already doing it

Writing is magic happening on paper

Every book is worth reading. If it cannot make you wiser it will make you a critic

Today almost everybody is a writer, the enormous publish button on blogs and websites begs you everywhere to click on it! And bam you are a writer. To hell with agents and publishing houses and rejection letters. Immortality for you is on the click of a mouth! We are advancing at the speed of light! You can become an author at 140 characters. To hell with long winding sentences and long hours of scratching the head, the immortals of today instantly get a "like" and they instantly enter the pantheon! They seat side by side Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, St Paul, Buddha, Martin Luther, Rousseau, Bangambiki…

When I write sometimes I strike gold, sometimes I labor in vain and keep producing rubbish

Don't believe in everything that is written. Not everything that is written is true

The greatest moments of creativity come in absolute solitude, when one’s mind is free from distraction and able to probe the depths of the impossible.

Whenever I encounter writer’s block, I stop writing … with my hands; and I then start writing with my legs.

It’s easy to write a sentence, paragraph, or book. What’s difficult is writing the best sentence, paragraph, or book, you can write.

Words come alive from a page or script because both the writer and actor were brave enough to neither deny or invent their truth

My wishes before I die, to fulfill my mission on earth; The writing of my life stories to inspired present and future generations.

Being the Novelist-in-Residence at a riad hotel in the kasbah of an Arabic North African city is a lot like trying to write one’s memoirs on shreds of napkins in a nuthouse.

Writing heals the quandaries of life.

To all you writers, artists, musicians, creative types who want to give up: It's okay to walk away for a bit. Get your second wind. But your writing, art, music will be there, lurking over your shoulder, and it will call to you, and you will answer. And come back even stronger.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Folding the laundry, completing another project at work, or watching television for the next hour doesn’t build your writing muscles. It only leaves them flabby.

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.

...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.

It’s a great day to write a best-seller.

I am sorry, I am not a writer. I simply put my thoughts on paper. Those helped by them call them a book and me a writer. Those who are not helped call it rubbish and me a fool. Both have reason.

One day I will write a book. An epitaph

Every book has its ancestors

Writing is exposing yourself to strangers

Writing is a competition between the writer and the page. When the page wins, you fail as a writer.

I am no writer. Her sparkling eyes made my fingers write words in the sand, Her radiant smile made my pen write words in the air. Her beautiful soul made my typewriter type poems for eternity. I am no writer.

As I am a work in progress, you shall see me more or less? Don't shake me out if I digress. As of me less, from me more of my work, I guess.

Breaking through writer's block is like thinking out of the box: Both require an ability to imagine a world outside your four walls or rearranging them to get a better view.

Each time I write, I reaffirm my soul.

There is always, always, always something to write about.

Every book I've read appears in my writing.

...you are a writer the moment you start writing, not when you've sold your first book.

I base a deuteragonist on the best friend I never had. A lot of good ideas come from what I never had and cause my imagination to light up.

Spread sunshine and inspiration.

Empower the future with love. Disgraceful men don't stand a place in the kingdom of god.

Writers don't suffer from insanity, they depend upon it!

A Writer Must Have Text Appeal

Writing is like riding a bike. Once you gain momentum, the hills are easier. Editing, however, requires a motor and some horsepower.

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