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

Thomas Wolfe

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

I don’t care if a reader hates one of my stories, just as long as he finishes the book.

Roald Dahl

I have long felt that any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has just put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae or banana split.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr

I get up in the morning, torture a typewriter until it screams, then stop.

Clarence Budington Kelland

Just don’t be boring!

Robert Liebmann

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

T.S. Eliot

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

Do not place a photograph of your favorite author on your desk, especially if the author is one of the famous ones who committed suicide.

Roddy Doyle

It begins with a character, usually, and once he stands up on his feet and begins to move, all I can do is trot along behind him with a paper and pencil, trying to keep up long enough to put down what he says and does.

William Faulkner

Good instincts usually tell you what to do long before your head has figured it out.

Michael Burke

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

Do you know what a playwright is? A playwright is someone who lets his guts hang out on the stage.

Edward Albee

You may be able to take a break from writing, but you won’t be able to take a break from being a writer.

Stephen Leigh

Biography should be written by an acute enemy.

Arthur Balfour

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

E. B. White

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

Joseph Conrad

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

Stephen Wright

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.
