“The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.” ― Ursula K. Le Guin

“When seriously explored, the short story seems to me the most difficult and disciplining form of prose writing extant. Whatever control and technique I may have I owe entirely to my training in this medium.” – Truman Capote

“My short stories are like soft shadows I have set out in the world, faint footprints I have left. I remember exactly where I set down each and every one of them, and how I felt when I did. Short stories are like guideposts to my heart...” ― Haruki Murakami

Writing is like working out. It's hard. But if you skip a day? It gets harder. And every day you skip after that just makes it worse. So never skip a day.

This is also true of good writing. Don't think about the audience - just execute your vision of your creation. Think of FIELD OF DREAMS: "If you build it they will come." Create first. Write first. If you create it, the audience will come. The right audience.

We love seeing initiatives like this. Writers - check it out:
“Despite the rise of AI, we are not nearing the end of the written word, but merely the end of the beginning.” Last year, we funded 15 Scholarships to @David_Perell’s Write of Passage. This year, we're funding 10 more. Inside, @DylanoA4 explains why ↓ newsletter.osv.llc/p/writing…

“Any carefully planned thing destroys the creativity. You can't think your way through a story; you have to live it. So, you don't build a story; you allow it to explode.” -Ray Bradbury . . . #RayBradbury #QuotesOnCreativity

Excellent advice from a wonderful author ~
Lincoln in the Bardo author George Saunders on how he approaches writing a book: “Have a plan, but be willing to abandon it.” He goes on to say that his best ideas come to him not from planning, but from action.

Creative encouragement for the day: "Without leaps of imagination or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all is a form of planning." ~Gloria Steinem Embrace your flights of fancy. Take the leap. Imagine. Dream. Believe. Create.
