[A] writer’s most powerful weapon, his true strength, was his intuition, and regardless of whether he had any talent, if the critics combined to discredit an author’s nose for things, he would be reduced to a fearful creature who took a mistakenly guarded, absurdly cautious approach to his work, which would end up stifling his latent genius.Anonymous
About This Quote
To be a writer, you must love words. As a writer, you must also be able to find the right word. The right word will spark your imagination and set you free. Writer’s are often described as being intuitive because they are able to see things that others cannot.
This is their gift to the world. It is said that writers should take a “mistakenly guarded, absurdly cautious” approach to writing. This means that they should always write at the first opportunity, regardless of how good or bad it might be.
If you begin writing with no strings attached, it will be impossible for someone else to write your story the way it should be written.
