Georges Rodenbach - Act of writing

"The act of writing itself is like an act of love. There is contact. There is exchange too. We no longer know whether the words come out of the ink onto the page, or whether they emerge from the page itself where they were sleeping, the ink merely giving them colour." ~Georges Rodenbach, The Bells of Bruges

Jose Dalisay - Creative Writing

“How do you know, you ask, where to take your words? That’s another difference between the writing I do for others and for myself. In the first case, I know exactly where to go, and I just need to get there as quickly and smoothly as possible. In the second, I let the words lead me; I begin stories not knowing where they’ll go and how they’ll end. That’s the adventure, the fun, and the grace of creative writing.” ~ Jose Dalisay Excerpt from essay “The Best Revenge,” (1.5.04) p.135 “The Knowing is in the Writing”
