Writing is like a sport. If you don't practice, you don't get any better.

Rick Riordan

I guess mercy is a muscle like any other. You got to exercise it, or it just cramp right up.

Esi Edugyan

Exercise the writing muscle every day, even if it is only a letter, notes, a title list, a character sketch, a journal entry. Writers are like dancers, like athletes. Without that exercise, the muscles seize up.

Jane Yolen

The vocal cords are a muscle, and like any other muscle in the body, they can be strained. So you have to warm up.

Sondra Radvanovsky

Writing is like a sport - you only get better if you practice

Rick Riordan

Boxing is like any other sport, like football, basketball, whatever, where there's a strategy you stick to in order to win.

Demetrius Andrade

Exercise the writing muscle every day.

Jane Yolen

The main joy I have in owning or being a part of my own label is the platform I've created to really push other artists and this other kind of musical muscle I get to exercise, it's not just me as a creator of music but me as a curator. That's been really exciting and I do get to have the autonomy and control and all those things with my releases, but now I get to go and find artists that I really love and like and share them with the world too.

Jennifer Lee

I like playing sport, and I like doing physical stuff. I like hiking and I like climbing and I like playing sport. I do a lot. But I don't like the term 'exercising.' I feel like with sport, you're playing games. But with exercise, you're literally just trying to stop yourself from dying too young. It's weird.

James McAvoy

I believe that any form of writing exercise is good for you. I also believe that any form of tuition which helps develop your awareness of the different properties, styles, and effects of writing is good for you. It helps you become a better reader, more sensitive to nuance, and a better writer, more sensitive to audience. Texting language is no different from other innovative forms of written expression that have emerged in the past. It is a type of language whose communicative strengths and weaknesses need to be appreciated.

David Crystal

Writing is like a contact sport, like football. Why do kids play football? They can get hurt on any play, can't they? Yet they can't wait until Saturday comes around so they can play on the high school team, or the college team, and get smashed around. Writing is like that. You can get hurt, but you enjoy it!

Irwin Shaw

I've wanted to be a professional actor for years and if you get any sort of success in that field then fame sort of comes along with it. But I don't know if I'm sort of media fodder like other people are. I'm essentially a family man.

Mackenzie Crook

Music is not a sport - one is not better than the other. You just like what you like and get inspired.

Orianthi

Writing is an art, just like any other creative exercise - painting a picture, singing a song or dancing. It is an expression of your feelings.

Sudha Murty

I released that I could crank out a song if I practiced it a lot. If I am in the practice of writing songs everyday or every other day, getting ideas and following through with them, and not just saying "I've got this idea, but I will get to it at some point." If I actually sit down and not be lazy, and follow through with it then you just get in the practice of doing things. It feels very productive, and then it gets a lot easier, because you are working the muscle in your brain. The "song-writing muscle" so to speak.

Ari Hest

For a while the creative writing community sort of sprung out of places like Iowa and Syracuse. The graduates sort of went out, and they would found creative writing departments in the little colleges where they went, and then some of those would found other ones. I mean every college has got a creative writing department, so where are the jobs coming from? There are not any jobs out there.
