Tom Sawyer

“Exercise the writing muscle every day, even if it is only a letter, notes, a title list, a character sketch, a journal entry. Writers are like dancers, like athletes. Without that exercise, the muscles seize up.” – Jane Yolen, American writer

Alice in Wonderland

“People on the outside think there’s something magical about writing, that you go up in the attic at midnight and cast the bones and come down in the morning with a story, but it isn’t like that. You sit in back of the typewriter and you work, and that’s all there is to it.” – Harlan Ellison, American writer

Jane Eyre

“All the words I use in my stories can be found in the dictionary—it’s just a matter of arranging them into the right sentences.” – Somerset Maugham, British writer

Winnie-the-Pooh

“Get it down. Take chances. It may be bad, but it’s the only way you can do anything really good.” – William Faulkner, American writer
