Ursula K. Le Guin

I am going to be rather hard-nosed and say that if you have to find devices to coax yourself to stay focused on writing, perhaps you should not be writing what you're writing. And if this lack of motivation is a constant problem, perhaps writing is not your forte. I mean, what is the problem? If writing bores you, that is pretty fatal. If that is not the case, but you find that it is hard going and it just doesn't flow, well, what did you expect? It is work; art is work.
-Ursula K. Le Guin

I understood that writing can be equal to magic.
-Arwen Curry, making a film on Ursula K. Le Guin

I do magic. I make things that didn’t exist before. I call it Earthsea, and there it is! So I can draw the map.
-Ursula K. Le Guin
