Read a thousand books and your words will flow like a river.

Lisa See

If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it’s to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel.

Jim Morrison

Writers aren’t people exactly. Or, if they’re any good, they’re a whole lot of people trying so hard to be one person.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

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

A writer is a world trapped in a person.

Victor Hugo

My aim is to put down what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way I can tell it.

Ernest Hemingway

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

E. B. White

A true author, no matter the medium, is an artist with godlike knowledge of his subject, and the proof of his authorship is that his pages smack of authority.

Robert McKee

It is only natural to pattern yourself after someone. But you can’t just copy someone. If you like someone’s work, the important thing is to be exposed to everything that person has been exposed to.

Bob Dylan

I’m writing a book. I’ve got the page numbers done.

William Faulkner

Stories are never too long or too short. They’re too interesting or too boring.

William Shawn

Thank your readers and the critics who praise you, and then ignore them. Write for the most intelligent, wittiest, wisest audience in the universe: Write to please yourself.

Harlan Ellison

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

G.K. Chesterton

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

Raymond Chandler

It’s an accepted fact that all writers are crazy; even the normal ones are weird.

William Goldman

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

A blank piece of paper is God’s way of telling us how hard it to be God.

Sidney Sheldon

The reason 99% of all stories written are not bought by editors is very simple. Editors never buy manuscripts that are left on the closet shelf at home.

John Campbell

The road to ignorance is paved with good editors.
