Writing Quotes

You go from these high hopes when you’re writing to just a desperate want of not making a complete fool of yourself by the end of it Picture Quote #1

If you only have one shot at writing a headline, there’s a lot of pressure Picture Quote #1

For some artists the live performance is the chicken before the egg of writing or recording of repertoire. For other artists the writing or recording of repertoire is the chicken before the egg of live performance Picture Quote #1

For me, when I’m writing something really personal, I don’t feel good about it. It’s weird that people can connect to it and like something that came from a really crap place. You have to be quite brave to write about something that you honestly feel and think Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Writing is a divine art, and the more I write and read the more I love it Picture Quote #1

Poetry is first of all a way of life and only secondarily a way of writing Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think one of the dullest things in the world is a letter filled with apologies for not writing sooner Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The writing is done on the computer, and the drawing is done by hand. I write, write, write, then I hit the illustration Picture Quote #1

An intellectuals weapon is writing, but sometimes people react as if it were a firearm. A writer can do a lot to change the situation, but as far as I know, no dictatorship has fallen because of a sonnet Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Writing about magic is harder than writing about spies because you’re dealing with something that doesn’t really exist Picture Quote #1

Writing is a creative art form and the acting and directing is more of an interpretive art form Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Never stop writing because you have run out of ideas. Fill the lacunae of inspiration by tidily copying out what is already written Picture Quote #1

Writing a book is hard. It turns out, writing a second book is twice as hard Picture Quote #1

The end of writing is to instruct; the end of poetry is to instruct by pleasing Picture Quote #1

No stile of writing is so delightful as that which is all pith, which never omits a necessary word, nor uses an unnecessary one Picture Quote #1

I love writing. I’ve always written journals. I loved writing the book on living alone Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
