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

Stephen Wright

If you start with a bang, you won’t end with a whimper.

T.S. Eliot

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

C. J. Cherryh

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

Thomas Wolfe

I write the last line, and then I write the line before that. I find myself writing backwards for a while, until I have a solid sense of how that ending sounds and feels. You have to know what your voice sounds like at the end of the story, because it tells you how to sound when you begin.

John Irving

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

Robert A. Heinlein

Don’t annoy an author, you’ll end up in their book and you won’t look good.

Lawrence Wray

To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I’m writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I’m going to play for the opening sequence.

Quentin Tarantino

The fact is, I don’t know where my ideas come from. Nor does any writer. The only real answer is to drink way too much coffee and buy yourself a desk that doesn’t collapse when you beat your head against it.

Douglas Adams

If you wait for inspiration to write, you’re not a writer. You’re a waiter.

Dan Poynter

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

E. B. White

Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don’t see any.

Orson Scott Card

If you have an idea that you genuinely think is good, don’t let some idiot talk you out of it.

Stan Lee

When writing a novel, that’s pretty much entirely what life turns into: “House burned down. Car stolen. Cat exploded. Did 1,500 easy words, so all in all it was a pretty good day.”

Neil Gaiman

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

Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade, just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.

Truman Capote Quote

Socially, a journalist fits in somewhere between a whore and a bartender. But spiritually he stands beside Galileo. He knows the world is round.

Sherman Reilly Duffy

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

Jeanette Walls

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