I have read these texts and picked up some quotes from them. you can take a look on these texts and find the mentioned quotes and take some insight.
Teach Writing as a Process Not a Product (Don Murray) Quote 1: "What is the process we should teach? It is the process of discovery through language. It is the process of exploration of what we should know and what we feel about what we know through language"(Murray 2). Quote 2: "Writing is the act of producing a first draft. It is the fastest part of the process, and the most frightening, for it is a commitment"(Murray 3). Quote 3: "We have to respect the student, not for his product, not for the paper we call literature by giving it a grade, but for the search for truth in which he is engaged"(Murray 3). The Daily Writing Routines of Great Writers (Maria Popova) Quote 1: "I never listen to music when I’m working. I haven’t that kind of attentiveness, and I wouldn’t like it at all. On the other hand, I’m able to work fairly well among ordinary distractions." -E. B. White Quote 2: "I’m always in a hurry to get going, though in general I dislike starting the day." -Simone de Beauvoir Quote 3: "I can work anywhere. I wrote in bedrooms and living rooms when I was growing up with my parents and my brother in a small house in Los Angeles." -Ray Bradbury Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life (Anne Lamott) Quote 1: "Now, practically even better news than that of short assignments is the idea of shitty first drafts. All good writers write them. This is how they end up with good second drafts and terrific third drafts"(Lamott 5). Quote 2: "I always show my work to one of two people before sending a copy to my editor or agent" (Lamott 10). Quote 3: "You really must get your piece or book just right, as right as you can"(Lamott 11). My Quotes: 1.It is not the matter of how long you work on writing, but what matters is having the quality time of writing even if that time is short. 2.A writer's best pen is focus and thinking. 3.Having a good cup of coffee in a quiet place after a meal gives you all what you need for creative writing.
