“You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.”
― Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing
Ray Bradbury was an author of many great short stories, novels, poems and many other literary works. He was a prolific writer who won awards, dealt with many pressing issues, such as censorship and the effects of TV on interest and creativity. He was hardworking and dedicated to his writing, publishing almost 30 books, 600 shorts stories and hundred of poems.
This quote is important to me because many people have dreams such as writing that they love and enjoy, but if they were to doubt that love, would have reality crush them with things such as "Writers don't make money." "You'll live in your parent's basement forever." and other negative things. It teaches us that we need to find our passion and never let that passion die and fade because of the harshness that reality brings. It represents another side of keeping your imagination alive.
It's an intriguing quote Conner and you've clearly expressed an insightful interpretation of it. The assignment did ask for an image of the author so please remember to do that when you make the corrections below.
ReplyDelete- check the punctuation on the second quote in your final paragraph
- find out passion, singlular
