Good Writer Quotes

No good writer was ever long neglected; no great man overlooked by men equally great. Impatience is a proof of inferior strength, and a destroyer of what little there may be Picture Quote #1

Nobody objects to a woman being a good writer or sculptor or geneticist if at the same time she manages to be a good wife, a good mother, good looking, good tempered, well dressed, well groomed, and unaggressive Picture Quote #1

A good writer can watch a cat pad across the street and know what it is to be pounced upon by a Bengal tiger Picture Quote #1

I think that people who can't believe in faeries aren't worth knowing. I just think that alternate realities make you a good writer. If your work is any more than one dimension, you believe in faeries Picture Quote #1

The good writer seems to be writing about himself, but has his eye always on that thread of the Universe which runs through himself and all things Picture Quote #1

Good writers define reality; bad ones merely restate it. A good writer turns fact into truth; a bad writer will, more often than not, accomplish the opposite Picture Quote #1

Disney was not a good animator, he didn’t draw well at all, but he was always a great idea man, and a good writer Picture Quote #1

What makes a good writer of history is a guy who is suspicious. Suspicion marks the real difference between the man who wants to write honest history and the one who’d rather write a good story Picture Quote #1

A good writer should draw the reader in by starting in the middle of the story with a hook, then go back and fill in what happened before the hook. Once you have the reader hooked, you can write whatever you want as you slowly reel them in Picture Quote #1

Writing is physical work. It’s sweaty work. You just can’t will yourself to become a good writer. You really have to work at it Picture Quote #1

Any one who wishes to become a good writer should endeavour, before he allows himself to be tempted by the more showy qualities, to be direct, simple, brief, vigorous, and lucid Picture Quote #1

I’ve always thought that a lot of really good writers go wrong by getting so into the craft and the technique and perfection. Perfection can be the enemy sometimes. Some songs don’t need to be told perfectly. Life is messy and has loose ends, and sometimes I think the songs should reflect that Picture Quote #1

I regard posterity as vulgar as success. I don’t trust posterity. I don’t think what’s good is necessarily recognized in the long run. Too many good writers have disappeared Picture Quote #1

There are three things you need to be a good writer: you need to read a lot, you need to write a lot, and you need a lot of feedback Picture Quote #1

My grandfather had been a newspaper reporter, as was my uncle. They were pretty good writers and so I thought maybe somewhere down the line I would do some writing Picture Quote #1

Copywriters, journalists, mainstream authors, ghostwriters, bloggers and advertising creatives have as much right to think of themselves as good writers as academics, poets, or literary novelists Picture Quote #1

My parents are both really, really funny, and my little sister is a really good painter, and my other sister is a really good writer Picture Quote #1

What I always wanted to get seen as was as a good actor, when it was the acting I was doing. When I’m writing, I want to try to be seen as a good writer Picture Quote #1

A good journalist, as you know, is a great listener. And so’s a good writer. And I got to listen to people for almost 20 years. That serves me well, I hope, when I try to understand how a character might be feeling, or how they might react Picture Quote #1

I thought I was a pretty good writer, but I didn’t have anything to write about. I wanted to go out in the world, have some adventures and then write about them Picture Quote #1

A good writer must be like the birds of a dark forest; you can’t see them, but you can hear their mysterious and wise voices! Picture Quote #1

Every sentence has its drumbeat. rhythm is one of the most powerful dimensions of language: it separates tribes, united families, soothes children, and shocks us into new awarenesses. Every good writer, marching to his or her own drumbeat, marks out a vibrational field as home territory. The cadences of our sentences carry echos of ancestry and influence as surely as the double helix that orchstrates the life of the body Picture Quote #1

A good writer refuses to be socialized. He insists on his own version of things, his own consciousness. And by doing so he draws the reader’s eye from its usual groove into a new way of seeing things Picture Quote #1

Good art can come out of thieves, bootleggers, or horse swipes. People really are afraid to find out just how much hardship and poverty they can stand. They are afraid to find out how tough they are. Nothing can destroy the good writer. The only thing that can alter the good writer is death. Good ones don’t have time to bother with success or getting rich. Success is feminine and like a woman; if you cringe before her, she will override you. So the way to treat her is to show her the back of your hand. Then maybe she will do the crawling Picture Quote #1

Good writers hate bad writing but hating bad writing doesn’t make you good. Writing badly does Picture Quote #1

I have friends, some of whom are spectacularly good writers, who really want someone to edit them. I don’t register that impulse. It’s like the impulse for wanting a dog Picture Quote #1

A writer is a performer as well. A writer isn’t the literary department. That gets tried on but nothing’s a script unless a good writer goes away and does his thing alone Picture Quote #1

I didn’t become a good writer until I learned how to rewrite. And I don’t just mean fixing spelling and adding a comma. I rewrite each of my books five or six times, and each time I change huge portions of the story Picture Quote #1

I’m not famous for my back story investigations; I’m lucky that I work with good writers and it’s usually in the script Picture Quote #1
