You Are A Writer

Whether you are writing website copy, brochure copy, or your next blog post, congratulations, you’ve made the leap. The web necessitated it, and you became a writer.

In order to stand out from the vast amount of competition out there, you need to make your writing interesting. You need to tell a good story.

A blank computer screen, or a blank piece of paper can be intimidating. Here are a few writing quotes I picked up that were scattered around the Internet. Maybe they’ll help:

• “All you do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.” -Ernest Hemingway

• “Cut all the exclamation points. An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke.” -F. Scott. Fitzgerald

• “The most valuable of talents is that of never using two words when one will do.” -Thomas Jefferson

• “When I write, I feel like an armless, legless man with a crayon in my mouth.” -Kurt Vonnegut

• “Your intuition knows what to write, so get out of the way.” -Ray Bradbury
