15 Inspiring Quotes On Writing From The Greatest Writers In History

How do you get the words flowing?

It helps to hear how others before you did it.

One of the reasons I am such a big believer in the Ship 30 for 30 daily writing challenge is because, like all these writers, they preached the importance of good habits, consistency, and getting on with writing (instead of *thinking* about writing). I firmly believe it’s the act of writing that makes you a better writer, and nothing more.

Here’s what the pros have to say about it:

1. “Most writers regard the truth as their most valuable possession, and therefore are most economical in its use.”

— Mark Twain

2. “Find a subject you care about and which you in your heart feel others should care about. It is this genuine caring, not your games with language, which will be the most compelling and seductive element in your style.”

— Stephen King
