Sam Esmail on Writing:

write what you know

via Mr Robot creator Sam Esmail: The revolution will be televised by Karl Quinn.

Often feel I really don't know, what I know, if that can make sense. And, maybe that is what I've been trying to do here the last six and half years - to find out more about myself, what I have experienced, felt, learnt and come to know.

As U2 sing in Beautiful Day:

What you don't know you can feel it somehow.

One of my favourite lyrics ever. It describes who I am and why I behave the way I do, both in life and my random uncomfortable writings.

Iain S. Thomas on Writing:

Write About Something Else

Write about something that makes you feel uncomfortable.

Write about something that makes you worry what other people will think.

[..]

Write to try and capture your own unique voice and take on things.

Write About Something Else by Iain S. Thomas.

And that is pretty much what I have done here these last 6 years. It's certainly been uncomfortable. I've definitely worried about what other people will think and it's been done my way. And the best bit is that I have loved every minute of it. You've Gotta Love It as Patricia would say.

Iain S. Thomas on Writing:

Keep writing. Give everything away for free. That's what worked for me.

Remember: Every word you write makes you one word better than you were before you wrote it.

I might have survivor bias but I believe if you keep doing the thing you love, eventually you get good at it and people notice it.

Tim Winton on Patience:

If you don't have the chance to wait, you still have to wait. You wait until it's right.

Tim Winton on Books:

to go in there and see this whole room devoted to books ... it was great.

via Books: Wait until it's right by David Larsen.

I was told it was old fashion to have a book shelf, but I think it is great.

Richard Skinner (*) writes On Writing (*):

A tight structural form opens possibilities. Take a pattern, an established model or sub-genre, and write to it. In writing, limitation (*) gives freedom (*).
