Writing starts with living.– Rumors of Water: Thoughts on Creativity & Writing

About This Quote

The words “I was born to write” are often said by writers. It is true that most of us dream of being a writer. But, is it really true that one must be born to write? My answer is no. Although the path to becoming a writer is not an easy one, writing can be learned.

There are books, blogs, journals, and writing tools online that will help you with your creative process. A good idea for anyone who wants to become a writer is to use these tools. The benefits of doing so are many: you will have a better understanding of the creative process; you will have more information at your disposal; you will have more ways in which to express yourself; and you will have more people who can help you with your work.

Writing starts with living.
