WriteGirl Executive Director Keren Taylor attended the AWP (Association of Writers and Writing Programs) conference in NYC this week, and here are some of her fave soundbites from a variety of panels on writing, publishing and teaching:
“Learn every art form you can in this lifetime.”
“The difference between poets and other people? Poets think about death ALL the time.”
“Writers write best when they are free of self-censorship. But sometimes, specific constraints can free up the creativity. For example, write a story using only one-syllable words.”
“Write into grayness, into not-knowing.”
