“If you're going to be a writer you should sit down and write in the morning, and keep it up all day, every day. Charles Bukowski, no matter how drunk he got the night before or no matter how hungover he was, the next morning he was at his typewriter. Every morning. Holidays, too. He'd have a bottle of whiskey with him to wake up with, and that's what he believed. That's the way you became a writer: by writing. When you weren't writing, you weren't a writer.” IfsWayShouldWritingMatterNightNextMorningWake UpDown AndDrunkHolidayBottlesEvery MorningWhiskeyTypewriters Author:Lawrence Ferlinghetti
“My dreams are the usual incoherent nonsense. Like most writers, at some point in my career I thought, well, I have these great dreams but I always forget them in the morning so I’ll leave a pad on my bedside table so I can write it down, and then you have some incredible dream and you write it down and the next morning you wake up and you’ve written ‘purple socks’.” WritingWellsI CanDreamNextForgetCareersMorningWrittenWake UpDown AndTablesIncrediblesNonsenseUsualPurpleSockPads Author:George R.

“Life continues, and some mornings, weary of the noise, discouraged by the prospect of the interminable work to keep after, sickened also by the madness of the world that leaps at you from the newspaper, finally convinced that I will not be equal to it and that I will disappoint everyone - all I want to do is sit down and wait for evening. This is what I feel like, and sometimes I yield to it.” WorldWantFeelsSometimesWaitingMorningEqualMadnessDown AndConvincedNewspapersNoiseEveningYieldLeapWearyDiscouragedDisappoint Author:Albert Camus
“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
“Since when do we let the government decide what is or isn't good for us? What the hell does Congress know about nutrition, anyway?... If the government can use force whenever something is "in our best interest" then government should force everyone to wake up at 6am every morning for calisthenics in the front yard. Fast food establishments should be torn down and replaced with bars that serve carrot juice and alfalfa sprouts, since - "it's in your best interest." This paternalistic attitude that "the government knows best" and that you are merely a helpless child is insulting and reprehensible.” IfsKnowsShouldChildrenDoeUseGovernmentForceInterestAttitudeMorningHellFrontsWake UpDown AndCongressBarsEstablishmentNutritionEvery MorningReplacedHelplessYardsTornJuiceInsultingFast FoodCarrotsSproutsCalisthenics Author:Michael Badnarik
“A friend of ours, the wife of a pastor at a church in Colorado, had once told me about something her daughter, Hannah, said when she was three years old. After the morning service was over one Sunday, Hannah tugged on her mom's skirt and asked. "Mommy, why do some people in church have lights over their heads and some don't?" At the time, I remember thinking two things: First, I would've knelt down and asked Hannah, "Did I have a light over my head? Please say yes!" I also wondered what Hannah had seen, and whether she had seen it because, like my son, she had a childlike faith.” PeopleThinkingYearsFirstsSaidTwoLightRememberThreeChurchMorningWifeSonMomPleaseDaughterDown AndTwo ThingsSundayMy SonThree YearsPastorSkirtsChildlikeColoradoThree Year OldsChildlike Faith Author:Todd Burpo

“I'm a morning "spinner." That's usually when my brain is thinking too much and I don't necessarily see things positively. So I sit myself down and remember that I'm making it up. I believe we are creating in every moment - making up our reality, so to speak - so when anything gets chaotic or I feel spun out, I remind myself that everything is an interpretation.
