"There exist only three beings worthy of respect: the priest, the soldier, the poet. To know, to kill, to create."

"You don't have to suffer to be a poet; adolescence is enough suffering for anyone."

It is not a bad idea to get in the habit of writing down one's thoughts. It saves one having to bother anyone else with them.

Say all you have to say in the fewest possible words, or your reader will be sure to skip them; and in the plainest possible words or he will certainly misunderstand them.
John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)

Inspiration is wonderful when it happens, but the writer must develop an approach for the rest of the time... The wait is simply too long.
Leonard Bernstein (1918 - 1990)

You have to know how to accept rejection and reject acceptance.
Ray Bradbury, advice to writers
US science fiction author (1920 - )

Good writing takes more than just time; it wants your best moments and the best of you.

This is the challenge of writing. You have to be very emotionally engaged in what you’re doing, or it comes out flat. You can’t fake your way through this.


Hey, My name is Megan. I'm 17 years old. I love to write, read, shop, hang out with friends, listen to music, and party.  I love flip fops, drinking, staying up late, waking up in the afternoon, summertime, swimming, the ocean, piecings, dying my hair, jewlery, rain, bottled water, poptarts, family, my friends, and smelly stuff(the good smelly stuff) that's all I can think of at the moment, but if you would like to know anything else, feel free to ask
