Writing Community Quotes

“We fiction writers have a responsibility when creating a character; he or she must sit beside us as we read the story. If she isn’t, we haven’t done our job. Therefore, writing Dr. T’s character forced a plunge into places I had no interest in going. A person like Adam Turner would not have come into this beautiful world looking for a kid to control, manipulate, or wreck. There had to be a reason- that created massive psychic wounds.”

“I find it both incredible and disgusting how there are so many self-proclaimed best-selling authors out there who have not sold more than 100 copies. So many of these types of authors that lack accountability, transparency, and authenticity trying to sell their books with an abundance of false hype, false statements, and inaccuracies.”

“هواكَ كثيرٌ عليّ، وقلبي ‎على نارِ قلبِك لا يستطيعُ ‎وأيُّ بديعٍ أروحُ إليه ‎وأنت إلهي السميعُ البديعُ ‎فمِنْ أين يأخذني الآخرون ‎وبين يديك يهيمُ الجميعُ ‎لقد ضيّع العشقُ عقلي فماذا ‎يقولُ بحسنِك حرفٌ وضيعُ”

“من كل صوبٍ عيون الناس شاخصةٌ‬ ‎وأنتِ ماكرةٌ تصطاد بالنظرِ... ‎ فكيف أقوى على صدّ العيون، وبي‬ ‎شيءٌ من الحب مع شيء من الحذرِ...‬ كأنني مبعِدٌ عنك العيون كمن‬ ‎يظن يقوى بكفّيه على المطرِ...‬”

“دعوتُ لهم مرّةً بالبقاء فماتوا... كأنّ السماء مقوّسة الظهر، والدعوات كراتُ.. وطني أتنكسر البيوتُ حزينةً وقلوبُ كل العاشقين بيوتُ شعبُ إذا ما الفقر حلَّ بدارِهِ كتمَ الجراحَ وقلبُه مكبوتُ لو تحشد الدنيا على إخضاعه ينمو بحجم عذابه الجبروتُ هبني أكن مرسى تنام على يدي لو تستطيع مراكبٌ ويخوتُ هبني أكن ألم الجراح، دم الإبا ما همّني إن ذبت بي وشقيتُ ما دام مجد الأرز يسكن جبهتي وتنام بين حقائبي بيروتُ”

“لا أحبّ الأعياد منذ طفولتي. لم أفهم كيف أنّ السعادة تُرصد في رزنامة العام كمواعيد العمل. فرح الآخرين لا يناسب مزاجي دائماً، وتوقيته أشبه بتلزيم الحب إلى شركة خاصة. الزيارات لم تصلني بأحد يوماً، ولطالما لم أشعر بواجب الواجبات بل بدت لي على شكل قصاص، والاتصالات التي تولد في العيد تموت معه.. حتى مظاهر البهجة لا تشبهني، لذا، لمّا أزل أرغب في قراءة رواية، وأنا في سريري بعيداً عن فوضى تعم البلاد ابتداءً من رؤية القمر وليس انتهاءً بنوع الشوكلاتة التي تقدم للمناسبة. ثمة أعياد تأتي بلا صلوات ولا تهليل، أعياد على شكل طاولة وفنجان قهوة، ووجه لامرأة غريبة تترك في دورتك الدموية قمراً لا يختلف على رؤيته الفقهاء والمساكين الذين يُساقون من أفق إلى آخر كالطائرات الورقية.”

“Truth? Sometimes I question every last thing I’m doing. Truth? Right now, those questions swirl every damn day. Is this also true for you? Still, we keep moving forward, you and I. We try new things. We doggedly keep on doing the old things because though they may not have worked in the past it doesn’t feel like crazy to continue, it feels like the space of trusting some wild sort of knowing. We love, good and hard. We show up for life. In the midst of depression, insanely messy houses, and bank accounts sliding closer and closer to that fine red line, and panic attacks, and kids who won’t listen but who damn well know how to question and love. And we make stuff. My god, the way we keep on making stuff. Because we can and we have to. Because it’s the only damn thing that feels right when everything else feels a hundred kinds of wrong. We create. Defiant and determined and true. Weary hearts brought to blazing life if only for those wild moments we dance with the muse.”

“Are you honest enough to share? Would you or could you add an AI statement of Use, or a note on AI and writing tools you used for your book? I think that would be a major challenge for so many today who are typing in simple short prompts to create complex 200 plus page books and then claim they wrote them.”

“Working alone definitely has its advantages. There was no need for second-guessing decisions or discussions on how to work more efficiently. When you’re alone, you have complete control over the project, tackling it the way you think best without worrying about compromising with others. I could fully immerse myself in the task without worrying about others interfering with my creative process. I could work at my own pace, set deadlines, and put one hundred percent of my effort into every detail.”

“I’ve come to learn and understand from this experience that book writing is a dynamic process, fraught with its own challenges and rewards. Approaching it demands a degree of flow and ease, two qualities that I oftentimes don’t prioritize or respect.”

“With so many authors out there buying fake or hype reviews, consider clicking on that review, to see if the reviewer is being genuine. Check to see if they are saying the same wonderful things about every book, or, for that matter, every product they review. Review the review to see if it is true.”

“The Library of Congress is owed two copies of your book. U.S. copyright law (17 U.S.C. § 407) requires every published book to deposit two physical copies of the best edition at the Library of Congress within three months of publication. Most indie authors do not realize the obligation exists. The requirement sits in the statute regardless of whether anyone chases it. How to comply: send two copies of the best edition. If the book is published in both paperback and hardcover, the Library is entitled to two hardcover copies; paperback-only releases satisfy the deposit with two paperbacks. Copyright registration and the mandatory deposit are separate actions, and completing both is the cleanest path. Mail copies to: U.S. Copyright Office, Library of Congress, Washington DC, with the LCCN or PCN application if applicable.”
