Whether you write longhand, on an old typewriter, on a laptop, desktop, or by any other means, the main tool of our trade is this:

So here are ten great quotes on words and writing to inspire your writing for the week:

4. “A writer and nothing else: a man alone in a room with the English language, trying to get human feelings right.” John K. Hutchens, New York Herald Tribune, 1961.

I will close with a wish for my fellow wordsmiths:

From the words of Sappho:

“May I write words more naked than flesh, stronger than bone, more resilient than sinew, sensitive than nerve.” 

Have a productive week wringing out the right words.
