Text Quotes
Writing fiction is... an endless and always defeated effort to capture some quality of life without killing it (Writing Fiction Quotes)
I would, however, start writing fiction about 10 years before I actually did, because it’s such great fun to do, many times more creative than nonfiction (Writing Fiction Quotes)
Once I got started, I wanted the life of a writer so fiercely that nothing could stop me. I wanted the intensity, the sense of aliveness that came from writing fiction. I’m still that way. My life is worth living when I’ve completed a good paragraph (Writing Fiction Quotes)
Writing fiction, there are no limits to what you write as long as it increases the value of the paper you are writing on (Writing Fiction Quotes)
When I’m writing about reality, I’m writing about death. When I’m writing fiction, I’m writing about life (Writing Fiction Quotes)
I tried writing fiction as a little kid, but had a teacher humiliate me, so didn't write again until I was a senior in college (Writing Fiction Quotes)
Writing fiction has developed in me an abiding respect for the unknown in a human lifetime and a sense of where to look for the threads, how to follow, how to connect, find in the thick of the tangle what clear line persists (Writing Fiction Quotes)
The pleasure of writing fiction is that you are always spotting some new approach, an alternative way of telling a story and manipulating characters; the novel is such a wonderfully flexible form (Writing Fiction Quotes)
I'm an idiot for thinking that one performance would change anything. Maybe I should stop writing songs and start writing fiction (Writing Fiction Quotes)
When I’m not writing, I can’t make sense of out anything. I feel the need to make some sense and find some order, and writing fiction is the only way I’ve found that seems to begin to do that (Writing Fiction Quotes)
I think that when you’re writing fiction what you’re doing is reflecting life as you see it, and putting down how you think and how other people think, and the sort of confusions that you don’t normally like to admit to (Writing Fiction Quotes)
Expressing political opinion can be a powerful way to establish a character’s voice when writing fiction (Writing Fiction Quotes)
As a novelist, I mined my history, my family and my memory, but in a very specific way. Writing fiction, I never made use of experiences immediately as they happened. I needed to let things fester in my memory, mature and transmogrify into something meaningful (Writing Fiction Quotes)
I first started writing fiction in college because I was attracted to beautiful sentences. I loved to read them. I wanted to write them (Writing Fiction Quotes)
I have to have music as a soundtrack to writing fiction. I listen to it at other times, too, but it helps me write (Writing Fiction Quotes)
I think the thing that I lost in myself when I stopped writing fiction and the thing that I rediscovered and started mining again is, for lack of a better word, magic. It’s the way you can brush up against the inexplicable and the mystical (Writing Fiction Quotes)
Fiction ought to announce the problems, dramatize the problems, display them. Yet offer no set answer. An answer would solve the mystery. Writing fiction, for me, is about putting on paper my obsessive interest in something mysterious. I may figure out the source of the mystery, the things that brought some action or image to my mind, but to make an equation of it would ruin the story (Writing Fiction Quotes)
Writing criticism is to writing fiction and poetry as hugging the shore is to sailing in the open sea (Writing Fiction Quotes)
The art of writing fiction is to sail as dangerously close to the truth as possible without sinking the ship (Writing Fiction Quotes)
I was an outsider, never quite part of what was going on, always looking in. It turned out to be great preparation for writing fiction (Writing Fiction Quotes)
I love writing fiction because I can totally lose myself and I get to make up the rules of the world that I’m writing (Writing Fiction Quotes)
One learns much more by writing fiction, because the insights come from those deeper subconscious levels where the greater and more interesting truths lie (Writing Fiction Quotes)
Two hours of writing fiction leaves this writer completely drained. For those two hours he has been in a different place with totally different people (Writing Fiction Quotes)
I think one of the paradoxes of writing fiction is when people enjoy it, they want it to be real. So they look for connections (Writing Fiction Quotes)
I love the secrecy of writing fiction. When I write a novel, I don’t tell anybody what I’m doing. I’m living in my private world. And it’s a great sensation (Writing Fiction Quotes)
The process of writing fiction is totally unconscious. It comes from what you are learning, as you live, from within. For me, all writing is a process of discovery. We are looking for the meaning of life. No matter where you are, there are conflicts and dramas everywhere. It is the process of what it means to be a human being; how you react and are reacted upon, these inward and outer pressures. If you are writing with a direct cause in mind, you are writing propaganda. It’s fatal for a fiction writer (Writing Fiction Quotes)
Writing fiction takes me out of time. I sit down and the clock will not exist for me for a few hours. That’s probably as close to immortal as we’ll ever get (Writing Fiction Quotes)
