Quotations on Perseverance

Standard

One of the most important qualities for writers is that of perseverance. So many other circumstances have impact on success and failure that are outside of the direct control of the writer, but there is one that is in his/her ability to control: perseverance, the ability to keep writing, no matter what is happening. Here are a few quotations about that quality:

  1. β€œAmateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work.” Yes, indeed. We sometimes romanticise writing — we wait for the muse. But writing leads to more writing. It’s a discipline that I am still trying to corral but I know we have to be up and doing, not sitting and waiting. thanks for these quotes.
