Two quotes

Howdy! Thought I'd share these two quotes because they speak directly to what Createslate is about.

"Frankly, I'm tired of writers talking only about inspiration. I'm sick of books that help you find the creative inner you, the idea that will spark that spark and finally compel you to write your novel. Novel writing isn't always about finding the right ideas. It's about finding the time and the energy." – Sarah Domet.

"Forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you're inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won't. Habit is persistence and practice." – Octavia Butler.

I do believe habit is the more compelling of the two.

And the more necessary! A writing habit is what I need to develop.
