Greg Foreman Writer Quotations

Knowledge for a writer is like a compass for a sailor.

For a writer to sit before a blank page, as a painter before a white canvass or general before a bloodless field; before the first scribble of creation, is a moment like no other. The writer is consumed by the trice of bliss, jollity, determination, and sensitive to a true and deepest affection.

When daily you write intensively, one day of laziness subjects you to a suffering of unfamiliar compunction. The words can freeze and the state of privation worsens with idleness. Thus, a day off for a writer is chancy and, in conclusion, solely a luxury of other professions.
