I read a blog in which the writer does something that I thought was kinda cool—she does something she calls “Five for Friday” in which she collects; in lists of five; tips, tricks, inspirational quotes, pieces of advice from other writers, and all sorts of other things.
So, I decided to start doing “Three for Thursday”. Only three because I felt like it. And I didn’t want to do “Six for Saturday”. Plus, Thursday is really the best day for me to post regularly! Hopefully I’ll be able to keep up on it! Let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to find three of and post for you!
In relation to my last post, today’s Big Three have to do with why writers write. Enjoy!
“Writing is making sense of life. You work your whole life and perhaps you’ve made sense of one area.”
-Nadine Gordimer
“Writing is a form of personal freedom. It frees us from the mass identity we see in the making all around us. In the end, writers will write not to be outlaw heroes of some underculture, but mainly to save themselves, to survive as individuals.”
-Don Delillo
“I lived to write, and wrote to live.”
-Samuel Rogers
