Are you writing your book yet? No? Still in need of further inspiration? Here are some of my favorite inspiring quotes about the craft of writing.

-E. L. Doctorow

The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe.
-Gustave Flaubert

Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.
-Winston S. Churchill
