Quotes about writing.

Ever been the lead character in the writer's block scene of you own life story? Here are some quotes that may help get you energised about writing again:

"Becoming a writer is about becoming conscious. When you're conscious and writing from a place of insight and simplicity and real caring about the truth, you have the ability to throw lights on for your reader." Lamott (1994:225)

or maybe more simply:

"You want to write? Write.... Just plant your butt in a chair and write." Smith (2006:82).

I found both these in Cecile Badenhorst's book: Research Writing.
