Act as though it is impossible to fail.

Hitch your unconscious mind to your writing arm.

The games of the ancient Greeks were, in their original institutions, religious solemnities.

The most enviable writers are those who, quite often unanalytically and unconsciously, have realized that there are different facets to their nature and are able to live and work with now one, now the other.

Most writers flourish greatly on a simple, healthy routine with occasional time off for gaiety.

Criticism and rejection are not personal insults, but your artistic component will not know that. It will quiver and wince and run to cover, and you will have trouble in luring it out again to observe and weave tales and find words for all the thousand shades of feeling that go to make up a story.

Act as if it were impossible to fail.
