These are the ones that line my desktop on Post-It notes, ones I always want in front of me about creative life:
"If you find yourself asking yourself (and your friends), 'Am I really a writer?' 'Am I really an artist?' Chances are, you are. The counterfeit innovator is wildly self. confident. The real one is scared to death."
--Steven Pressfield, The War of Art (via my friend Amy, who shared on my FB wall on the first day of camp) For really cool visual representations of this book, visit this site
"The dream must be vivid and continuous."
--Anne Lamott
"You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down."
--Ray Bradbury
"Hope is a revolutionary patience."
--Anne Lamott
""Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don't try
to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what
you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer."
--Barbara Kingsolver (via my friend Nancy Campbell Allen)
