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

Raymond Chandler

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

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

Jeanette Walls

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

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

Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don’t feel I should be doing something else.

Gloria Steinem

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

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

Work on a computer that is disconnected from the Internet.

Zadie Smith

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

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

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

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

G.K. Chesterton

There are three primal urges in human beings: Food, sex, and rewriting someone else’s play.

Romulus Linney

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

Roald Dahl

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

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

Sidney Sheldon

I have a structured songwriting process. I start with the music and try to come up with musical ideas, then the melody, then the hook, and the lyrics come last.

John Legend

Just don’t be boring!

Robert Liebmann

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