“Writing is a job, a craft, and you learn it by trying to write every day and by facing the page with humility and gall. And you have to love to read books, all kinds of books, good books. You are not looking for anything in particular; you are just letting stuff seep in.” WritingTryingKindBookJobsStuffHumilityParticularPagesAll KindsCraftsGood BookLove To Read Author:Stephen Dobyns

“I don't want to be disrespectful to people who are incredible at their craft, but the truth is, if I didn't get paid for it, I wouldn't act. The best-paying jobs are usually the worst films.

“Writing is an art but also a craft, which means it's a job. I don't teach. This is how the groceries get on the table. You sometimes make creative sacrifices to get the job done. All that said, I'm looking forward to getting out of the two-book-a-year schedule I'm on and to getting some self-indulgence going.” WritingYearsMeanArtSaidTwoBookSelfSometimesDoneJobsTeachCreativeSacrificeTablesCraftsSchedulesLooking ForwardIndulgenceGroceriesSelf IndulgenceGet The Job Done Author:Charlie Huston
“Some crafts have been practiced for centuries. These crafts were created using skills passed from generation to generation, and were motivated by necessity such as baskets and pottery, or artistic expression, such as more baskets and more pottery. Today, there is a much more leisurely attitude toward crafting, and virtually anyone without a job and access to pipe cleaners can join the elite society of crafters.” Has BeensTodayJobsAttitudeGenerationsCenturyExpressionSkillsAccessCraftsArtisticMotivatedElitesHobbiesPipeBasketsCleanersPotteryArtistic ExpressionCrafters Author:Amy Sedaris
