Starting is the most difficult thing that there is. For me the difference between page two and page nothing is the difference between life and death. — Aaron Sorkin. (photographs by annie leibovitz for vanity fair, on the set of newsroom)

In the words of the man himself, writing advice for all writers (particularly of fiction) that I found useful from Chuck Palahniuk.

"You can’t cut spending your way out of this hole. You can’t grow your way out of this hole, and you can’t tax your way out of this hole. So put that in your pipe and smoke it, we tell these people. This is madness. If you want to be a purist, go somewhere on a mountaintop and praise the east or something. But if you want to be in politics, you learn to compromise. And you learn to compromise on the issue without compromising yourself. Show me a guy who won’t compromise and I’ll show you a guy with rock for brains…..I guess I’m known as a RINO now, which means a Republican in name only, because, I guess, of social views, perhaps, or common sense would be another one, which seems to escape members of our party. For heaven’s sake, you have Grover Norquist wandering the earth in his white robes saying that if you raise taxes one penny, he’ll defeat you. He can’t murder you. He can’t burn your house. The only thing he can do to you, as an elected official, is defeat you for reelection. And if that means more to you than your country when we need patriots to come out in a situation when we’re in extremity, you shouldn’t even be in Congress."

— Alan Simpson, who was appointed as co-chair of President Obama’s Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform in 2010 via The Huffington Post (via endthebushtaxcuts)
