Words, wit and writing

Published by

For the past few weeks, I was posting quotations that I like on my Facebook page.

Many of them were from my witty friend Oscar Wilde. Then I thought why not quote Bottledworder? All I need to do is to look inside. So here are some words of wisdom from BW’s Good Angel and Bad:

The best writing happens when you’re not trying to make the best writing happen!
But to type, you need to strive.
When it fits, it fits.
But to get it, you need to sit on it.
When readers get it,they get it.
But to make an idea fly, you need to try.
You don’t care, if the world is fair.
But they’ll visit, if you persist.
Just do it.

That last one though is not Bottledworder’s! (It’s about shoes, not writing.)

Always a good post. I just typed The End to my latest book The Catch and went back in to the text to find a place to write another line. The scent of magnolias would always be ruined by the smell of blood pooling at my feet. I guess you’d have to be there. A moment in the life of a writer.

These are some great bits of wisdom for every writer out there. Thanks for sharing them. I also get inspired by quotes, and those I find myself especially drawn to I post on my blog: http://thoughtsofafutureauthor.wordpress.com/quotes/

I like to quote videogames: “I don’t need luck, I have skill.”

These are all good words to contemplate. My favorite quotes comes from “Finding Forrester” such as:
Writers write, readers read
Write, don’t think. Thinking comes later.

Ohhh…compared to Oscar Wilde. Big Victoian slippers to fill. Take care not to end up in cell B-23, Reading Gaol. Later…

Oh, I love this post. I just wrote a post the other day quoting myself from a previous post, and I thought “How narcissistic can I possibly get???” but now here I am, getting validation from your blog for doing it 🙂 Thanks!

All so true. I do tend to bounce ideas with my fellow writers on skype, and then inspiration sparks, from a simple quip, and off I go. When you least expect it, miracles happen. My muses, my friends.

“But they’ll visit, if you persist.”
It’s been my experience that ‘sadly’ many new to blogging give up in the first few month due to a reluctance to persist…. I persisted, and now am very happy I did so…. Sometimes this is all it takes; a consistent effort..!
