Quotes on Writing “I write to discover what I know” — Flannery O'Connor ““I think being a great writer requires being a great editor.

You are not being yourself. You don’t even know yourself.”” — Ray Bradbury ““A good editor doesn’t rewrite words, she rewires synapses.” ” — S. Kelley Harrell “I write only when inspiration strikes. Fortunately it strikes every morning at nine o’clock sharp” — W. Somerset Maugham “To read is to inhale. To write is to exhale. So breathe” — Glennon Doyle “To read is to inhale. To write is to exhale. So breathe” — Glennon Doyle
