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

T.S. Eliot

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

Stephen Wright

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

Stan Lee

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

C. J. Cherryh

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 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.

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

Biography should be written by an acute enemy.

Arthur Balfour

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

Joseph Conrad

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

Raymond Chandler

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

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

William Goldman

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

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

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

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

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.

Oscar Wilde

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