Work on a computer that is disconnected from the Internet.

Zadie Smith

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

Matthew Arnold

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

Jeanette Walls

A writer is a world trapped in a person.

Victor Hugo

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

I do not over-intellectualize the production process. I try to keep it simple: Tell the damned story.

Tom Clancy

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

Lisa See

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

Stephen Wright

A writer without interest or sympathy for the foibles of his fellow man is not conceivable as a writer.

Joseph Conrad

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

Reading and weeping opens the door to one’s heart, but writing and weeping opens the window to one’s soul.

M. K. Simmons

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

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

Lawrence Wray

Just don’t be boring!

Robert Liebmann

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

If the sex scene doesn’t make you want to do it — whatever it is they’re doing — it hasn’t been written right.

Sloan Wilson

Easy reading is damn hard writing.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

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

E. B. White

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

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