TeenageTells

This week I wanted to share some of my favourite quotes with you, because it's been an emotional week for me with some personal stuff going on, and adjusting to a new routine because I'm in Poland for five weeks :). These are some that help me, and hope help you too:

"Write like the world ended yesterday and you're the only one left to remember how it felt."

"Your whole life can change in 1 year. Make this the one."

"being a great writer is 3% talent, 97% not being distracted on the internet."

"Wanting to be a writer and not wanting to be rejected is like wanting to be a boxer and not wanting to get punched." - David Barr Kirtley.

"Treat all your secondary characters like they think the book's about them." -Jocelyn Hughes.

"Some journeys lead us far from home. Some adventures lead us to our destiny." C.S Lewis.

"Good writing is supposed to evoke sensation in the reader- not the fact that it is raining, but the feeling of being rained upon." -E. L. Doctorow.

"Without commitment, you'll never start. Without consistency, you'll never finish." -Denzel Washington.

"Haters don't really hate you. They hate themselves because you're a reflection of what they wish they could be."

"Never say you're having a bad day... say you're having a character building day." -Les Brown.

"You're not doing it wrong. You're just in the part that makes most people quit."

"Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word. It means they learned it by reading it."

"Fear is wisdom in the face of danger, it is nothing to be ashamed of." -Sherlock Holmes.

"We are writers, my love. We don't cry. We bleed on paper." -a.y.

"If someone tells you 'you can't' they're showing you their limits. Not yours."

"If you quit it becomes a habit. Never quit." -Michael Jordan.

"You never know the other person's story, so never judge it. The others also don't know your story, so don't be ashamed of who you are. Remember: you are perfect and there is always someone who will appreciate that, even if you haven't found them yet." -Nadia Partyka.
