I love writing, but hate starting. The page is awfully white and it says, 'You may have fooled some of the people some of the time but those days are over, Giftless. I'm not your agent and I'm not your mommy: I'm a white piece of paper. You wanna dance with me?' and I really, really don't. I'll go peaceable-like.Aaron Sorkin
About This Quote
-The white page is like the blank page in writing. If you write on this page, what will you write about? It’s the same if you want to start a new book or journal. You may be wondering what to write about, so you may start by saying what you don’t like. But, this is not always the best way to begin.
Instead of saying what you don’t like, think about what you do like. It is better to find out that people do like something than they don’t. If you go into writing with that attitude, your writing will be more constructive and productive than if you just started writing because “you don’t like it.”
