Which quote of famous writer would describe you right now?

Unread post

Here's mine:

“All writers have this vague hope that the elves will come in the night and finish any stories.”
― Neil Gaiman

I am just trying to finish my article, and it seems like a dead end for me. No inspiration, a kind of writer's block. Elves would be great to have right now :)

What about you? Let's share our favorite quotes of famous writers which would perfectly describe our life, mood, thoughts, etc.! :mrgreen:

Here's the quote by J.K. Rowling that pretty much sums up my life: "Anything's possible if you've got enough nerve."
I just got accepted in a particular job which will hopefully be the start of a great future.

did somebody say Neil Gaiman :-D

just read the Pratchett Gaiman collaboration "Good Omens"

WOW! what a tour de force, i'm in love :love:




then my daughter suggested "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGUVcCRji-I

oh lordy, then the gods made love (hendrix reference)

i can now die happy!

might go some Alan Moore for good measure.


so good to see mythology being treated so beautifully, so full of wonder, wonderfully.

oh and a quote that describes me right now?
It's useful to go out of this world and see it from the perspective of another one.

I am haunted by waters.”

Same here nowadays.. I don't know what it takes to be a writer. I just can't write a single word nowadays. There is some kind of a block while writing or even while reading a book.. :crying:
