monday writing prompt

i found a fairly intriguing photo at one of my favorite websites, www.pixdaus.com. i know images don't work for everyone, but dang, people. just look at this one and tell me it doesn't get you to wondering. the creepiest part for me? the old sepia-toned portrait in the creature's hands. there's a story here, i'm telling you.

  1. There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein. ~Walter Wellesley "Red" Smith


    You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you. ~Ray Bradbury


    So often is the virgin sheet of paper more real than what one has to say, and so often one regrets having marred it. ~Harold Acton, Memoirs of an Aesthete, 1948


    The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say. ~Anaïs Nin


    Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia. ~E.L. Doctorow


    A word is not the same with one writer as with another. One tears it from his guts. The other pulls it out of his overcoat pocket. ~Charles Peguy


    And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. ~Sylvia Plath
