I've been working on revisions for almost three months now. I know, it's part of the writing process. But sometimes, the thing we love can be painful.
Enjoy these fun quotes about the pleasure and pain of writing!
"Writing a novel is like making love, but it’s also like having a tooth pulled. Pleasure and pain. Sometimes it’s like making love while having a tooth pulled." ~ Dean Koontz
"I get an urge, like a pregnant elephant, to go away and give birth to a book." ~ Stephen Fry
"Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, and fling him to the public." ~ Winston Churchill
"When writing a novel, that's pretty much entirely what life turns into: "House burned down. Car stolen. Cat exploded. Did 1500 easy words, so all in all it was a pretty good day." ~ Neil Gaiman
"Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such as ting if one were not driven by some demon whom one can neither resist or (sic) understand." ~ George Orwell
"Writing is the hardest way of earning a living, with the possible exception of wrestling alligators." ~ William Saroyan
