Lauren B. Davis, on writing:

 

If you are a real writer, then just surrender to the writer's life, all of it, even the bad stuff.

When you do that, the beauty appears:
the peace, the meaning, the joy, the fulfillment,
the sense that you are doing what you were born to do
and what could be better, in the end, than that?
 
- Lauren B. Davis.
