Seeing as this account is underutilized at the moment, I'm going to add an extra function here to use as a Japanese Language Study Blog. I could have set up a separate DW to do this, or used another blogging platform, or even revived my old Akikawa Nikki LJ, but the advantage of using this account is that it is paid for already. If things get mixed in with whatever else I throw on here, well, I'll work harder on tagging.

So, a few lists to get started with:

For me, mostly )

You've made some notes, read some writing books, and done some research. Mostly what you've done is talk about writing a book. An idea for a book is not a book, it is a waste of time. There is no singular thing that makes someone a writer, but there is one thing that makes someone a joke--talking about writing a book without doing any work.

Note from Maria: dang, that's harsh. And sometimes what I need to hear...

Write books only if you are going to say in them the things you would never dare confide to anyone.

Your life will not be transformed overnight.
There will be no sudden miracle.
But steadily, day by day,
You will transform into the image you hold in your mind.
Sooner or later, you start taking yourself seriously.
You know when you need a break,
You know when you need a rest,
You know what you need to get worked up about
And what to get rid of.
And you know when it's time to take care of yourself,
For yourself--To do something that makes you more complete
Because you know
It's never too late to have a life
And never too late to change one.
Love what you do.
Do what you love.
And let the world go its own way.

Creativity means to push open the heavy, groaning doorway to life. This is not an easy struggle. Indeed, it may be the most difficult task in the world, for opening the door to your own life is, in the end, more difficult than opening the doors to the mysteries of the universe.

The smallest deed is better than the greatest intention.

Almost every man wastes part of his life in attempts to display qualities which he does not possess, and to gain applause which he cannot keep.

When we are not sure, we are alive.

Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say.

Use what talents you possess. The woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang the best.

Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark places where it leads.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.

Better to write for yourself and have no public than write for the public and have no self.

Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like.

If you think peaceful thoughts, you'll feel peaceful emotions, and that's what you'll bring to every life situation. If you're attached to being right or absolutely need something in order to be at peace or to be successful, you'll live a life of striving yet never arriving.

Infinite patience produces immediate results.

Ignoring your passion is like dying a slow death. You life is speaking to you every day, all the time--and your job is to listen up and find the clues. Passions whispers to you through your feelings, beckoning you toward your highest good.

Pay attention to what makes you feel energized, connected, stimulated--what gives you your juice. Do what you love, give it back in the form of service, and you will do more than succeed. You will triumph.
