Write the kind of story you would like to read. People will give you all sorts of advice about writing, but if you are not writing something you like, no one else will like it either.

Meg Cabot

Only write from your own passion, your own truth. That's the only thing you really know about, and anything else leads you away from the pulse.

Marianne Williamson

Ernest Hemingway

You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.

Anatole France
