Here’s a new feature at Everyday Magic: a weekly quote to inspire, encourage, enlighten or just entertain. They will all apply to writing, even if not they don’t mention writing specifically.
I really like small snippets that urge me along in some way. I love reading what writers before me have said, whether on writing, on life, or on the writing life. Thus this new feature, to share my fondness for great quotes with you. I hope you enjoy them as well.
“There’s no rule on how it is to write. Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly. Sometimes it is like drilling rock and then blasting it out with charges.”
–Ernest Hemingway
Everyday Magic | M. E. Garber 
This quote applies to more than just writing.
You’re right, it does. It can apply to just about any endeavor a human undertakes; which makes yet another reason to like this one!
