The Illusion of Control

Writer’s Little Instruction Book: Inspiration & Motivationby Paul Raymond Martin

  • Writing fosters the illusion that you can actually gain control over your life.
  • Write in order to make sense out of some aspect of you life, and you will likely do the same for your readers.
  • The lower levels of you consciousness are far more honest than the upper levels. Trust your instincts.
  • A writer is never off duty.
