“It’s a job. It’s not a hobby. You don’t write the way you build a model airplane. You have to sit down and work, to schedule your time and stick to it. Even if it’s just for an hour or so each day, you have to get a babysitter and make the time. If you’re going to make writing succeed you have to approach it as a job.” IfsWayWritingJobsHoursSucceedApproachModelsDown AndSticksEach DayAirplaneHobbiesSchedulesBabysitter Author:Rosellen Brown
“There isn't a single day I don't do some writing -- if you don't, you won't have a book. When you're self-employed it is very easy to burn away your time instead -- answering e-mails, surfing the Internet, or hanging out with friends. You really must have the discipline to sit down and write every day. Most of what I am writing is living in the back of my head or in my subconscious. I find if I write every day, my subconscious will do the job for me.” IfsWritingBookSelfJobsEasyInternetDisciplineDown AndHanging OutMailSubconsciousEmployedSurfingSurfing The InternetHanging Out With Friends Author:Charles de Lint

“I'm sort of a pressure writer. If somebody says, "Stan, write something," and I have to have it by tomorrow morning, I'll just sit down and I'll write it. It always seems to come to me. But I'm better doing a rushed job because if it isn't something that's due quickly, I won't work on it until it becomes almost an emergency and then I'll do it.” IfsWritingSeemsJobsMorningTomorrowPressureDown AndDuesEmergenciesTomorrow Morning Author:Stan Lee
