“Productive and effective writers leave time and reserve energy for revision, a step that includes everything from story reconstruction to proofreading.

“Try to be specific without being wordy. Don't make a sentence specific by hooking up a freight train of details to it.

“Style is not something you can put onto your writing like a new set of clothes. Style is your writing.

“So often we have ideas of what we want to create: books we'd love to write, projects we'd like to initiate or companies we dream of starting. But at our current skill level, we're not capable of executing our vision. The ability to create what we want to see exist in the world and have it meet our highest standard requires both deliberate practice and mastery.” - Srinivas Rao Follow The Show https://www.instagram.com/thedaily.pages/ http://dailypages.us/ https://terrancelayhew.com/       Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/jonny-boyle/sunrise-samba License code: MJJNG3PQFTBMUHYE

“Your art is never beholden to a single form. You can always change and evolve, and the best artists do this regularly.

“Money is part of the process of becoming an artist, if for no other reason than it affirms you are a professional, but the decision to be taken seriously is yours alone. You set the tone for how people will treat you, which means you must believe your work is worth charging for.” - Jeff Goines Follow The Show https://www.instagram.com/thedaily.pages/ http://dailypages.us/ https://terrancelayhew.com/       Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/jonny-boyle/sunrise-samba License code: MJJNG3PQFTBMUHYE

“Clarity of expression comes most of all from a clear understanding of the topic or theme you are writing about.

“Becoming a perennial seller requires more than just releasing a project into the world. It requires the development of a career.

“A mosaic of cliches is a form of automatic thinking. The writer may write such a draft, which makes revision all the more important. Give yourself a chance to think of something original, or at least plain, to replace the hackneyed language that clip-clopped into your text.” - Roy Peter Clark Follow The Show https://www.instagram.com/thedaily.pages/ http://dailypages.us/ https://terrancelayhew.com/       Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/jonny-boyle/sunrise-samba License code: MJJNG3PQFTBMUHYE

“A sense of competition often drives our collaboration, even when we don't realize that's what is happening. To be creative you must break away from what is expected, essentially competing with what has come before so that you can create something new. But you can't do this alone.
