The greatest block to most people’s creativity is lack of faith in themselves and the creative universe. We are taught from an early age to be critics not creators – this is why many people find writing so challenging. Writing is a process and to write to our potential we must let go, trust and have faith in ourselves, our imagination and the universe.
This is a beautiful book of inspiration and solid advice from writers who are just beginning to those who have been writing for 30 years. The collection has been selected by Roland Fishman, who has been teaching writing for 8 years at The Writer’s Studio in Bondi. The inspiration comes from writers and thinkers as diverse as Ernest Hemmingway, Anais Nin, Einstein, Elmore Leonard and David Mamet. These quotes contain many truths about writing, the creative process and life that resonate on an emotional and intellectual level.
