I suppose with any good writing and interesting characters, you can have that awfully overused word: a journey Picture Quote #1

The studios don’t seem to foster good writing. They’re not so interested in that, but they’re more interested in what worked most recently. They’re definitely very serious about making money, and that’s not a wrong thing, but you don’t have to make money the same way all the time Picture Quote #1

I’ve hung out in the writer’s room a few times, but the fact is we’ve got such a good writing staff, I don’t want to get my peanut butter fingerprints on anything Picture Quote #1

I think all good writing is a struggle. To write as well as you feel you can has to be a struggle, almost by definition, because you could always improve Picture Quote #1

As an actor, I go where the good writing is. That’s the bottom line Picture Quote #1

I think the thing that has made it possible for me to write personal songs and sing them year after year is the sensibility for good writing. Just opening your veins all over the paper is not necessarily going to be interesting. I wanted to speak to people Picture Quote #1

The secret of good writing is to say an old thing in a new way or to say a new thing in an old way Picture Quote #1

There’s such good writing now on television and I don’t see a lot of great writing on films sadly Picture Quote #1

The good writing of any age has always been the product of someone’s neurosis, and we’d have a mighty dull literature if all the writers that came along were a bunch of happy chuckleheads Picture Quote #1

I started writing while I was a little boy. Maybe it’s because I was reading a lot of books I admired, and thought that I would like to write something like that someday. Also, my love for good writing pushed me Picture Quote #1

Write for yourself, not for a perceived audience. If you do, you’ll mostly fall flat on your face, because it’s impossible to judge what people want. And you have to read. That’s how you learn what is good writing and what is bad. Then the main thing is application. It’s hard work Picture Quote #1

Good writing is good writing, but that doesn’t mean you can’t orchestrate it or tweak it Picture Quote #1

Good writing works from a simple premise: your experience is not yours alone, but in some sense a metaphor for everyone’s Picture Quote #1

I always tell my writing students that every good piece of writing begins with both a mystery and a love story. And that every single sentence must be a poem. And that economy is the key to all good writing. And that every character has to have a secret Picture Quote #1

There are many rules of good writing, but the best way to find them is to be a good reader Picture Quote #1

Good writing is remembering detail. Most people want to forget. Don’t forget things that were painful or embarrassing or silly. Turn them into a story that tells the truth Picture Quote #1

The good writing of any age has always been the product of someone’s neurosis Picture Quote #1

If you don’t allow yourself the possibility of writing something very, very bad, it would be hard to write something very good Picture Quote #1

$Don’t hedge your prose with little timidities. Good writing is lean and confident... Every little qualifier whittles away some fraction of the reader’s trust. Readers want a writer who believes in himself and in what he is saying. Don’t diminish that belief. Don’t be kind of bold. Be bold Picture Quote #1$

All the elements of good writing depend on the writer’s skill in choosing one word instead of another Picture Quote #1

Good writing never soothes or comforts. It is no prescription, neither is it diversionary, although it can and should enchant while it explodes in the reader’s face Picture Quote #1

If a man means his writing seriously, he must mean to write well. But how can he write well until he learns to see what he has written badly. His progress toward good writing and his recognition of bad writing are bound to unfold at something like the same rate Picture Quote #1

All good writing is built one good line at a time. You build a novel the same way you do a pyramid. One word, one stone at a time, underneath a full moon while the fingers bleed Picture Quote #1

Good writing is always about things that are important to you, things that are scary to you, things that eat you up Picture Quote #1
