What I loved most about calling myself a reporter was that it gave me an excuse to show up anyplace.

Jeanette Walls

Keep a small can of WD-40 on your desk — away from any open flames — to remind yourself that if you don’t write daily, you will get rusty.

George Singleton

Have something to say, and say it as clearly as you can. That is the only secret.

Matthew Arnold

Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.

E. L. Doctorow

My own experience is that once a story has been written, one has to cross out the beginning and the end. It is there that we authors do most of our lying.

Anton Chekhov

It is perfectly okay to write garbage — as long as you edit brilliantly.

C. J. Cherryh

Anecdotes don’t make good stories. Generally, I dig down underneath them so far that the story that finally comes out is not what people thought their anecdotes were about.

Alice Munro

A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.

G.K. Chesterton

Books aren’t written, they’re rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn’t quite done it.

Michael Crichton

Just don’t be boring!

Robert Liebmann

Substitute “damn” every time you’re inclined to write “very”; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.

Mark Twain

Editor: A person employed by a newspaper, whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to see that the chaff is printed.

Elbert Hubbard

No writer has ever yet been known to hang himself as long as he had another chapter left.

Thomas Wolfe

The first chapter sells the book; the last chapter sells the next book.

Mickey Spillane

The character that lasts is an ordinary guy with some extraordinary qualities.

Raymond Chandler

No one can write decently who is distrustful of the reader’s intelligence or whose attitude is patronizing.

E. B. White

Easy reading is damn hard writing.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.

Robert A. Heinlein

It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn’t give it up because by that time I was too famous.

Robert Benchley

Every writer with half a brain knows to surround himself or herself with editors who are smarter, far more articulate and infinitely better looking.

Chris Claremont
