It is only when you open your veins and bleed onto the page a little that you establish contact with your reader. if you do not believe in the characters or the story you are doing at that moment with all your mind, strength, and will, if you don't feel joy and excitement while writing it, then you're wasting good white paper, even if it sells, because there are other ways in which a writer can bring in the rent money besides writing bad or phony stories.

It Is Only When You Open Your

Paul Gallico
It is only when you open your veins and bleed onto the page a little that you establish contact with your reader. if you do not believe in the characters or the story you are doing at that moment with all your mind, strength, and will, if you don't feel joy and excitement while writing it, then you're wasting good white paper, even if it sells, because there are other ways in which a writer can bring in the rent money besides writing bad or phony stories.

More From Paul Gallico

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?

It is only when you open your veins and bleed onto the page a little that you establish contact with your reader.
Veins Littles Pages
We must be forewarned that only rarely does a text easily lend itself to the reader's curiosity... the reading of a text is a transaction between the reader and the text, which mediates the encounter between the reader and writer. it is a composition between the reader and the writer in which the reader "rewrites" the text making a determined effort not to betray the author's spirit.
Reading Learning Effort
For after all, what is there behind, except money? money for the right kind of education, money for influential friends, money for leisure and peace of mind, money for trips to italy. money writes books, money sells them. give me not righteousness, o lord, give me money, only money.
Book Writing Giving
Yes, we could talk to you for days on end about all the bad first dates. those are stories. funny stories. awkward stories. stories we love to share, because by sharing them, we get something out of the hour or two we wasted on the wrong person. but that's all bad first dates are: short stories. good first dates are more than short stories. they are first chapters. on a good first date, everything is springtime. and when a good first date becomes a relationship, the springtime lingers. even after it's over, there can be springtime.
Two Awkward Stories
It had that comfortably sprung, lived-in look that library books with a lively circulation always get; bent page corners, a dab of mustard on page 331, a whiff of some reader's spilled after-dinner whiskey on page 468. only library books speak with such wordless eloquence of the power good stories hold over us, how good stories abide, unchanged and mutely wise, while we poor humans grow older and slower.

A wise man travels to discover himself.
Inspirational Wise Travel
If you study japanese art you see a man who is undoubtedly wise, philosophic and intelligent, who spends his time how? in studying the distance between the earth and the moon? no. in studying the policy of bismarck? no. he studies a single blade of grass. but this blade of grass leads him to draw every plant and then the seasons, the wide aspects of the countryside, then animals, then the human figure. so he passes his life, and life is too short to do the whole.

Modest doubt is called the beacon of the wise.
Wise Doubt Beacons
Ah! but the moods lie in his nature, my boy, just as much as his reflections did, and more. a man can never do anything at variance with his own nature. he carries within him the germ of his most exceptional action; and if we wise people make eminent fools of ourselves on any particular occasion, we must endure the legitimate conclusion that we carry a few grains of folly to our ounce of wisdom.
