These are readings from three different authors that explain their own writing process and thought process and how they accomplish successful writing. Teach Writing as a Process Not a Product (Don Murray)
“Writing is primarily not a matter of talent, of dedication of vision, of vocabulary, of style but simply a matter of sitting. The writer is a person who writes.” “Don’t look back. Yes, the draft needs fixing. But first it needs writing. " “We have to respect the student, not for his product, not for the paper we call literature by giving it a grade, but for the search for truth in which he is engaged.” The Daily Writing Routines of Great Writers (Maria Popova) “A writer who waits for ideal conditions under which to work will die without putting a word on paper.” “A writer takes earnest measures to secure his solitude and then finds endless ways to squander it.” “ Write to finish one section at a time, for good and all.” Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life (Anne Lamott) “Writing can be a pretty desperate endeavor, because it is about some of our deepest needs: our need to be visible, to be heard, our need to make sense of our lives, to wake up and grow and belong.” “Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts.” “Beginners are learning to play, and they need encouragement to keep their hands moving across the page. My Quotes “The first draft is the beginning to your story” “Your thoughts will help you create on a blank canvas.” “ Get lost in your dreams for they are what will be portrayed on paper.”
