A Writer's Ruminations

192 notes "You ought to set aside three hours every morning in which you write or do nothing else; no reading, no talking, no cooking, no nothing, but you sit there. If you write all right and if you don’t all right (…); whether you start something different every day and finish nothing makes no difference; you sit there. It’s the only way, I’m telling you. If inspiration comes you are there to receive it (…). And don’t write letters during that time. If you don’t write, don’t do anything else."
— Flannery O’Connor (via writingadvice)
