Quotes for Writers...

Stay Inspired

Encouragement

we all need a little...

Writer's quotes help us achieve focus for our writing goals, make us laugh or encourage us to go on, even in the face of failure. You can't succeed if you never try. Whether in the form of writer's posters, mugs, magnets or just a scrap piece of paper with quotes on writing jotted down, stay inspired to complete the task at hand.

    Loved it. An Awesome collection, I am hoping to use some of these slightly modified to get me painting again. Since I started squidooing I have neglected my paints and need to add a little balance. Thanks for the reminder.

    Awesome! I had to laugh at the little "where's my muse?" I have a Squidoo friend who "shares" my muse. At least, that is what we say when one can't seem to get something done. Obviously the other one has the muse at the moment.

    Great quotes... and ideas... Mandee. I post 'quotes' on my bulletin board not just for writing, but also for encouragement in life in general! I often share favorite quotes with friends & family via letters and emails. Sometimes a line from a book or poster says just the right thing someone (including me) needs to hear.
