Steven Saylor Quotes

All writing is an act of self-exploration. Even a grocery list says something about you; how much more does a novel say? Picture Quote #1

I’m like the painter with his nose to the canvas, fussing over details. Gazing from a distance, the reader sees the big picture Picture Quote #1

Writing a first novel takes so much effort, with such little promise of result or reward, that it must necessarily be a labor of love bordering on madness Picture Quote #1

Some men are one thing on the surface and another underneath. The true poet shows not just the exterior of his subject, but all the contradictions within, and lets the reader draw his own conclusions Picture Quote #1

Im like the painter with his nose to the canvas, fussing over details. Gazing from a distance, the reader sees the big picture Picture Quote #1

Not write what you know, but know what you write. If you write about a world before, after, or other than this one, enter that world completely. Search it to find your deepest longings and most terrible fears. Let imagination carry you as far as it may, as long as you recount the voyage with excitement and wonder. But this is the most important rule: write the book you most long to read Picture Quote #1

I can’t say I had an ideal father, and I’m not a father myself Picture Quote #1
