Hi!
Have you ever thought about becoming a writer? Any kind of writer? Book writer. Poetry. Articles. Blogger. Sharing a few inspirational quotes by female writers who have inspired me.
Other writers thought about becoming a writer, before they decided. Something got them started. When they were well on their way, something kept them going.
“When I was about eight, I decided that the most wonderful thing, next to a human being, was a book.”
― Margaret Walker (1915 – 1998)
(Dr. Margaret Abigail Walker Alexander)

“You might as well answer the door, my child,
the truth is furiously knocking.”
― Lucille Clifton, Good Woman: Poems and a Memoir 1969-1980
“I don’t write out of what I know; I write out of what I wonder. […] Poetry and art are not about answers to me; they are about questions.”
― Lucille Clifton (1936 – )

“Going to the library was the one place we got to go without asking for permission. And they let us choose what we wanted to read. It was a feeling of having a book be mine entirely.”
― Rita Frances Dove (1952 – )
