The Write Practice exists to help writers improve their craft through deliberate practice. Through doing this, we get to meet new aspiring writers who are growing in their craft and encouraging and inspiring others. This week we wanted to share with you some fun, inspirational writing quotes from our new friend Kathy Jeffords. (Read more of Kathy’s story here.)
Here are eight quotes about writing from Kathy. You can get these awesome writing quotes here on Kathy Jefford’s Etsy shop.
1. “The point is…”
2. “Just write one page…”
3. “Edit or regret it.”
4. “I will write until not a single word remains…”
I will write until not a single word remains in my soul . . .
until every story in my heart has been told . . .
until my mind’s well of ideas is bone dry . . .
and even then I will write on because writing is not just something I do, but a part of who I am.
—Kathy Jeffords
5. “WRITE some letters make a word…”
WRITE some letters make a word
WRITE some words make a sentence
WRITE some sentences make a page
WRITE some pages make a chapter
WRITE some chapters make a book
—Kathy Jeffords
6. “Your fingers tap dance across the keys…”
your fingers tap dance
across the keys
spilling stories
onto hungry pages
filling afternoons
with prose
your soul flung open
like a window,
sunlight streaming in
—Kathy Jeffords
7. “That second draft will not kill you…”
That second draft will not kill you . . . It may kill some of your characters, (odds of this go up exponentially if you write murder mysteries) but it will absolutely, positively, pinky swear, not kill you. —Kathy Jeffords
8. “You are a writer…”
You are a writer: a sentence-crafting, plot-building, character-creating, spell-checking, story-telling, word-rearranging, suspense-building, character-finishing, bona fide writer and writers write! (So no excuses—start writing!) —Kathy Jeffords
We all need a little inspiration sometimes to encourage us to write. You can check out Kathy’s Etsy shop to get these prints and more fun writing quotes.
And of course, now that you’re inspired—write!
