I absolutely love it when writers write (or talk about) writing. Depending on what stage a writer is in the writing process, the writer’s quotes range from the devoted, to the confused, to the alcohol-dependent, and to the ultimately creative. In this short list of some of my favorite writer’s quotations about writing, I tried to leave out the mundane quotes and instead tried to include some of the more flavorful quotations about writing and the writing process.
In most cases, the quotes seem to accurately represent the writers themselves. Stephen King: I am the literary equivalent of a Big Mac and fries.Ernest Hemingway: Write drunk, edit sober. Hunter S. Elmore Leonard: I try to leave out the parts that people skip. Isaac Asimov: If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn't brood. Moliere: A writer is congenitally unable to tell the truth and that is why we call what he writes fiction. William Faulkner: Writing is like prostitution. William S.

Back in 2008, I came across a slightly mysterious website that featured a collection of Polaroids, one per day, from March 31, 1979 through October 25, 1997.
At the time, there was no author listed, no contact info, and no other indication as to where the images came from. So, naturally, I started looking through the photos. I was stunned by what I found. In 1979 the photos start casually, with pictures of friends, picnics, dinners, and so on. Here's an example from April 23, 1979, and where I began to believe that the photographer of the series was the man in the left foreground of that day's image. By 1980, we learn that the photographer is a filmmaker. He gets a letter from the American Film Festival and takes a photo of it on January 30, 1980. Some days there's just a photo of the date. Throughout the 1980s we see more family/fun photos, but also some glimpses of the photographer's filmmaking and music.
The photographer is a big Mets fan, as seen on April 29, 1986. NFL.com - Official Site of the National Football League. Free Personal Finance Software, Budget Software, Online Money Management and Budget Planner.
