Working Writers Quote: Ray Bradbury

0

Loved this quote from Ray Bradbury:

Group Toasting Champagne at a Party

You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you. ~Ray Bradbury


The reason I like this quote is because writing is really a balance. You have to believe in your work strongly, but you also have to be willing to look at the reality. Is your writing strong enough to be published? Will it find an audience? Is your story truly unique or just plain too complicated to be understood?

Being “drunk” on writing means that you will keep plugging along, despite the naysayers. You will listen to great feedback and take a realistic look at your work, but you will also keep going.
