There are three useful skills taught in school. It is the ability to write, read and count. Everything else overpowers the child genius.

Trust the Muse - not to write anyhow. It means to write as tells the soul, but given all the rules of creative writing.

I write not in the hope that I will make, I write in the hope that I will read. But even if readers will not, I will still continue to write. It is quite possible that my reader is not yet born.

Simplicity is of God. Everything else is from the evil one.

Only after George became impotent, he suddenly realized that is capable of jealousy. The idea that a wife will change him, tortured his heart.
"I'll kill her, he thought. - I can't handle and kill her. Better to let it changes under my supervision instead of in secret from me. No woman can never love an impotent. It's all fairy tales!"
George was so confident of the correctness of their conclusions, he didn't realize how personally ruined their marriage.

The actions of her husband more and more and more distance between Taisia from him. Only the flame of love in the heart of the Thais, which was reduced to a small tongue of fire, kept their marriage. She is amazed at how empathetic the person in front of her transformed into obsessive and insensitive.

Once I had the idea that it makes no sense to live without inspiration the man who was lucky enough to be inspired. I remembered Hemingway, Mayakovsky, Yesenin. Maybe for this reason they were done with my life?

I didn't think they had a gift and thought that my imagination is the result of years of training and studies creative writing. And now there are already plenty of books on neuropsychology, which allegedly proved that genius or talent is not there, and there are hard work and perseverance that leads to success. Then I realized that hard work is important no less than the talent, but talent is paramount.

And why would you want to be a writer? asked grandpa.
To earn a lot of money, ' I replied, being a fifteen-year-old boy.
What grandpa shook his head disapprovingly and said:
- If you are in the beginning put the main purpose of making money work, then it is unlikely you will be able to write something good. Fame and money will come with time, but your main task should be not that. Your product needs to be useful, they need to help people. You should aim to write for yourself, not for modern society and not even for the next generation. You have to write for eternity.

In my opinion, not mediocre people. Everyone has a talent. One is born to be a poet, a writer second, artist third and a fourth musician, and someone has the talent to be a good mother or a good father.

- Nonsense! Are you saying that a person cannot be taught to write?
- To teach students to write just the same, 'replied I,' and the school is proof of that, but you can't teach somebody to be a writer, if it was not his calling.

Being a writer is one thing, and not be afraid of what is written is another.

Understand that truly loving person loves in spite of, not for any quality. Remember? In joy and in sorrow.
