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

Sidney Sheldon

Plot is, I think, the good writer’s last resort and the dullard’s first choice.

Stephen King

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

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

Just don’t be boring!

Robert Liebmann

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

Romulus Linney

Easy reading is damn hard writing.

Zadie Smith

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

Roald Dahl

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

Dan Poynter

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.

John Campbell

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.
