Just a thought ...

For today's post, I want to just share a few thoughts I've found from writers on the process of writing and what it all means or meant to them, for them, and for all who choose to write; those concepts that come from and lead into our Writers Moments.

“If you want to see the consequences of ideas, write a story. If you want to see the consequences of belief, write a story in which somebody is acting on the ideas or beliefs that she has.” - Charles Baxter

“The greatest writers have persistence.” - Gina Nahai

“In every bit of honest writing in the world, there is a base theme. Try to understand men, if you understand each other you will be kind to each other. Knowing a man well never leads to hate and nearly always leads to love.” - John Steinbeck

“Writing is, in the end, that oddest of anomalies: an intimate letter to a stranger.”  - Pico Iyer

“The writer has to be … (someone) … who turns the world upside down and says, ‘Look, it looks different, doesn’t it?’” - Morris L. West
