Introduction
Today I'm going to talk about a few quotes from the readings The Daily Writing Routines of Great Writers (Maria Popova), Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life (Anne Lamott) and Zen in the Art of Writing (Ray Bradbury). The quotes are going to explain how the writer's writing process goes. Provide 3 quotes about the writing process from each reading. 1)In the writing The Daily Writing Routines of Great Writers E.B White said "A writer who waits for ideal conditions under which to work will die without putting a word on paper" This shows prewriting because E.B. White will just start writing what comes to his mind. 2)After a long day of Writing Jack Kerouac says "I need an hour alone before dinner, with a drink, to go over what I've done that day" This is clearing how Jack Kerouac revises the work that he has accomplished in his day. 3)Maya Angelou revises her work when after dinner is cleaned up she says "I read what i wrote that morning. And more often than not if I've done nine pages I may be able to save Two and a half or three" 1)In the writing Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life E. L. Doctorow says "writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way". This is how E. L. Doctorow Prewrites. 2)Anne Lamott says "the idea of shitty first drafts. All good writers write them". This shows how Anne Lamott writes drafts, and edits them. 3)Anne Lamott says "when someone reliable gives you this kind of feedback, you now have some true sense of your work's effect on people, and you may now know how to approach your final draft. If you are getting ready to send your work to a potential agent for the first time, you don't want to risk burning that bridge by sending something that's just not ready" this shows how Anne Lamott is getting ready to start the publishing process. 1) In the writing Zen in the Art of Writing Ray Bradbury says "Almost every Writer I've ever known has been able to find someone who could be both a friend and a critic" this shows that most writers edit because a critic will show them mistakes for them to make Improvements 2)Ray Bradbury writes "You stumble into it, mostly. you don't know what you're doing, and suddenly, it's done. This shows how Ray Bradbury prewrites by just starting to write ideas of his life and then he finds the path he needs to complete his work 3)Ray Bradbury wrote down " THE LAKE. THE NIGHT. THE CRICKETS. THE RAVINE. THE ATTIC. THE BASEMENT. THE TRAP DOOR. THE BABY." This is a form of prewriting and it gave him ideas and even made him learn more about himself to become a better writer.
