Pat Schneider quotes:

Even those truths that are painful will ultimately increase my wisdom, undergird my strength, make possible my art.

Writing as an art form belongs to all people, regardless of economic class or educational level. . . . A writer is someone who writes.

A writer is someone who writes!

And what is more generous than a window?

When we neglect the artist in ourselves, there is a kind of mourning that goes on under the surface of our busy lives.

Whether your purpose for writing is artistic expression, communication with friends and family, the healing of the inner life, or achieving public recognition for your art - the foundation is the same: the claiming of yourself as an artist/writer and the strengthening of your writing voice through practice, study, and helpful response from other writers.

To grow in craft is to increase the bredth of what I can do, but art is the depth, the passion, the desire, the courage to be myself and myself alone.
