“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
― Ernest Hemingway

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
― William Faulkner

“The first draft of anything is shit.”
― Ernest Hemingway

“The garlic bread!’ Rosemary cried.”
― Ira Levin, Rosemary's Baby
