"We write to taste life twice." ~Anaïs Nin
^ This is, once I think about it, one of the many reasons I write. And not only twice, but dozens and dozens of times, with each story, poem or book.
"If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." ~Toni Morrison
^ There are dozens of things that I'd love to read books about, but since these wished-for books do not exist, (or the existing ones are quite awful,) I either write about them or plan to write about them.
I don't know if there's such a thing as a book about how to write, but if there was I would consider it quite absurd, because:
"You only learn to be a better writer by actually writing." ~Doris Lessing
"A writer is working when he's staring out of the window." ~Burton Rascoe
^ I daydream a lot. And often when I'm daydreaming, I'm thinking up a scene for one of my stories. And sometimes I'm staring out the window.
