"If you don’t write your own stuff no one is going to write it for you. The chances of someone wanting to take a blind shot for you… it’s not going to happen. No one would have ever have written Master of None for me. I had to do it myself." Here's another dedication to … Continue reading Quote of the Day – Aziz Ansari

QUOTE OF THE DAY – F. SCOTT FITZGERALD
Quote of the Day – George Orwell
"If people cannot write well, they cannot think well, and if they cannot think well, others will do their thinking for them."
Quote of the Day
“...A mother is the one who fills your heart in the first place. She teaches you the nature of happiness: what is the right amount, what is too much, and the kind that makes you want more of what is bad for you. A mother helps her baby flex her first feelings of pleasure. She … Continue reading Quote of the Day

And the longer he is held back the stronger he will become, like a mass of rising water against a dam. There is no losing in writing, it will make … Continue reading Quote of the Day
Quote of the Day
"You have to resign yourself to wasting lots of trees before you write anything really good. That's just how it is. It's like learning an instrument. You've got to be prepared for hitting wrong notes occasionally, or quite a lot. That's just part of the learning process. And read a lot. Reading a lot really … Continue reading Quote of the Day
