“A story is a letter that the author writes to himself, to tell himself things that he would be unable to discover otherwise.”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón In this blog, you will be reading about round table discussion with 3 authors who are Don Murray, Maria popova, and Anne Lamott. These 3 authors will be discussing their writing plan, how writing influence themselves. I will be taking 3 quotes from each article that interest me.
Teach Writing as a Process Not a Product by: Don Murray Quote 1: "What is the process we should teach? It is the process of discovery through language. It is the process of exploration of what we should know and what we feel about what we know through language. It is the process of using language to learn about our world, to evaluate what we learn about our world, to communicate what we learn about our world. " -Don Murray Quote 2: "The writer, as he writes, is making ethical decisions. He doesn’t test his words by a rule book, but by life. He uses language to reveal the truth to himself so that he can tell it to others." -Don Murray Quote 3: " Actually, most of our students have learned a great deal of language before they come to us, and they are quite willing to exploit that language if they are allowed to embark on a serious search for their own truth." -Don Murray The Daily Writing Routines of Great Writers by: Maria Popova Quote 1: "When I’m really working I don’t like to go out or have anybody to dinner, because then I lose the hour. If I don’t have the hour, and start the next day with just some bad pages and nowhere to go, I’m in low spirits." -Joan Didion Quote 2: "When I am working on a book or a story I write every morning as soon after first light as possible. There is no one to disturb you and it is cool or cold and you come to your work and warm as you write." -Ernest Hemingway Quote 3: "I write my stories in the morning, my diary at night." -Anais Nin Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life by Anne Lamott Quote 1: "Criticism is very hard to take." -Anne Lamott Quote 2: "When someone reliable gives you this kind of feedback, you now have some true sense of your work's effect on people, and you may now know how to approach your final draft. -Anne Lamott Quote 3: "You don't have to see where you're going, you don't have to see your destination or everything you will pass along the way." -Anne Lamott Nymahlee Quotes Quote 1: "Never give up on what you believe in." Quote 2: "Always accept Criticism, only makes you stronger as a individual." Quote 3: "When writing, never let anything distract you."
