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

M. K. Simmons

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

Thomas Wolfe

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

Stephen King

Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.

E. L. Doctorow

Work on a computer that is disconnected from the Internet.

Zadie Smith

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

Dan Poynter

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

Oscar Wilde

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

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

Raymond Chandler

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

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

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

The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do.

Thomas Jefferson

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

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

Michael Burke

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

William Shawn

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

Gloria Steinem

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

Stephen Wright

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 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.
