Our life is a book that writes itself and whose principal themes sometimes escape us. We are like characters in a novel who do not always understand what the author wants of them.
My brother plays guitar and base and writes. His name is Chase Ryan.
Sending a handwritten letter is becoming such an anomaly. It's disappearing. My mom is the only one who still writes me letters. And there's something visceral about opening a letter - I see her on the page. I see her in her handwriting.
God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.
I carry my iPod everywhere. My favorite group is the John Butler Trio, an Australian jam band. The lead singer and guitarist writes amazing lyrics.
Most important of all, there is no right or wrong way to write - there's only what works for you. I was taught to write every day, but I know a writer (a bestseller at that!) who only writes on weekends.
I think of myself as a serious professor who, during the weekend, writes novels.
The reason one writes poems is so that your poem will be remembered.
Everyone writes differently. I hope to get people energized so they'll want to rush home to write.
I'm not one of those people who writes a biography or tries to figure out what kind of ice cream the character liked when he was 10.
