Text Quotes
The role of the writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say. Most of the writing today which is called fiction contains such a poverty of language, such triteness, that it is a shrunken, diminished world we enter, poorer and more formless than the poorest cripple deprived of ears and eyes and tongue. The writer’s responsibility is to increase, develop our senses, expand our vision, heighten our awareness and enrich our articulateness (Writing 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 Quotes)
When I’m writing, the romance is always the most important thing to me, but I really love adding in slices of real life, and for me that real life always includes animals (Writing Quotes)
Find your best time of the day for writing and write. Don’t let anything else interfere. Afterwards it won’t matter to you that the kitchen is a mess (Writing Quotes)
I can’t imagine why everybody is always so keen for authors to talk about writing. I should have thought it was an author’s business to write, not talk (Writing Quotes)
There is always a point in the writing of a piece when I sit in a room literally papered with false starts and cannot put one word after another and imagine that I have suffered a small stroke, leaving me apparently undamaged but actually aphasic (Writing Quotes)
One thing that I believe is that every time I write something, I am taking the time to celebrate. Even if I am writing a sad story or an angry poem, I am still giving those stories my time and attention (Writing Quotes)
I think one of the dullest things in the world is a letter filled with apologies for not writing sooner (Writing Quotes)
We don’t often talk about the fact that writing is all about rhythm. When you get too up in your head, you can lose a lot of your writing. Sometimes what a writer really needs to do is go dancing (Writing Quotes)
Writing and the hope of writing pulls me back from the edges of despair. I believe insanity and despair are at times one and the same (Writing Quotes)
I love computers. I love writing on them. I love gadgetry. The thing is: I am a slow reader. So, if I am going to get my work done, I read, like, a newspaper and that’s it. If I got into websites and the internet, I wouldn’t get any work done (Writing Quotes)
The writing is done on the computer, and the drawing is done by hand. I write, write, write, then I hit the illustration (Writing Quotes)
I was writing poems when I was young, you know, because my father was a poet, so it was absolutely normal to follow my father (Writing Quotes)
Writing about magic is harder than writing about spies because you’re dealing with something that doesn’t really exist (Writing Quotes)
Writing is a creative art form and the acting and directing is more of an interpretive art form (Writing Quotes)
My goal was to do anything that would lead to a job. I know that writing would not lead to a job. It’s too fancy for me. My biggest goal was to be an office receptionist, answer phones. I didn’t expect to go beyond that (Writing Quotes)
Never stop writing because you have run out of ideas. Fill the lacunae of inspiration by tidily copying out what is already written (Writing Quotes)
No stile of writing is so delightful as that which is all pith, which never omits a necessary word, nor uses an unnecessary one (Writing Quotes)
I love writing. I’ve always written journals. I loved writing the book on living alone (Writing Quotes)
When I’m writing, I don’t put faces on the characters. When I finish the first draft of the script, I start visualizing, and sometimes then I think about one actor (Writing Quotes)
The deepest satisfaction of writing is precisely that it opens up new spaces within us of which we were not aware before we started to write. To write is to embark on a journey whose final destination we do not know (Writing Quotes)
What’s the best thing you can do for your writing? Construct a boring life (Writing Quotes)
What I’m constantly striving for in my prose is clarity. So that, ideally, the writing will become so transparent that the reader will forget that the medium of communication is language (Writing Quotes)
I was really interested in piano and sort of discovered that I was a writer when I was about 13 and started writing. And it was my secret thing and my passion (Writing Quotes)
It’s a discovery of a story when I write a book, a case of inching ahead on each page and discovering what’s beyond in the darkness, beyond where you’re writing (Writing Quotes)
Love is easy, and I love writing. You can’t resist love. You get an idea, someone says something, and you’re in love (Writing Quotes)
I’ve always believed in writing without a collaborator, because where two people are writing the same book, each believes he gets all the worry and only half the royalties (Writing 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 Quotes)
Action, reaction, motivation, emotion, all have to come from the characters. Writing a love scene requires the same elements from the writer as any other (Writing Quotes)
We do not need to proselytise either by our speech or by our writing. We can only do so really with our lives. Let our lives be open books for all to study (Writing Quotes)
