Callie Hart Quotes

1. I struggled concentrating in school, but I was obsessed with reading and storytelling, so my teachers encouraged me to explore creative writing. (The Nerd Daily)
2. Focus has always been such a hard one for me. I have trouble making sure I’m not getting distracted by 10 other things during my writing time, so I’ve learned now that I need to turn off the internet, have a clean desk, and do my best to clear my head of chatter before I sit down to write. Otherwise, I’ll procrastinate for ten hours and accomplish nothing! (The Nerd Daily)
3. I always wanted to write a book, but it took me a while to stump up the courage to give it a shot. It seemed like such a daunting task. I’m glad I made that leap, though! (The Nerd Daily)
4. I think people just love a push-and-pull, enemies-to-lovers story. That is so iconic. People just love that. It’s so satisfying when that evolution in a relationship happens and the romance finally sparks. That’s such a fun moment to read about. I love reading about that, too. (Swooon)
5. [Quicksilver] was my passion project, my reward for getting other books written. I was like, I’m going to make time for myself to write that story. When I finally sat my butt down, I said to myself, Okay, now is the time you get to write something for yourself, to give yourself back the magic and passion for this career. And it really worked. It really, really worked. (First For Women)
