When writing a novel, that’s pretty much entirely what life turns into: “House burned down. Car stolen. Cat exploded. Did 1,500 easy words, so all in all it was a pretty good day.”

Neil Gaiman

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

Stan Lee

Easy reading is damn hard writing.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

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

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

Romulus Linney

The fact is, I don’t know where my ideas come from. Nor does any writer. The only real answer is to drink way too much coffee and buy yourself a desk that doesn’t collapse when you beat your head against it.

Douglas Adams

It always comes down to characters, and individual stories about courage.

Steven Bochco

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

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

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

E. B. White

Have something to say, and say it as clearly as you can. That is the only secret.

Matthew Arnold

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

G.K. Chesterton

Ever heard of a carpenter not going to work because he has “carpenter’s block”? If a writer can’t write, it’s because he doesn’t really want to, he isn’t ready to get it on paper or he’s just plain lazy.

Chet Cunningham

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

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

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

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

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