A Quotation From Robert Cormier
Folder:
Poetry Thoughts / Writing "We all start out with the same alphabet. We are all unique. Talent is not the most important thing --- discipline and dedication are. Craft can be learned but desire and longing are innate. Despite the demands of school and just being young, try to write SOMETHING every day --- a description, a captured emotion, a simile, a metaphor. Read, for crying out loud! A writer must read the way a ball player must go to the ballfield every day to practice. Everything is possible in this world of ours--- and so's publication." - Robert Cormier, answering the question "What advice do you give to young people who want to be authors?"
A great read for anyone who writes anything. It is very inspiring to me. I have never read it until you posted it, so thanks.
