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

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

E. B. White

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

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

Biography should be written by an acute enemy.

Arthur Balfour

Do not place a photograph of your favorite author on your desk, especially if the author is one of the famous ones who committed suicide.

Roddy Doyle

I haven’t got 10 rules that guarantee success, though I promise I’d share them if I did. The truth is that I found success by stumbling off alone in a direction most people thought was a dead end, breaking all the 1990s shibboleths about children’s books in the process.

J.K. Rowling

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

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

Raymond Chandler

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

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

Stephen Wright

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

Thomas Wolfe

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

A writer is a world trapped in a person.

Victor Hugo

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

Jeanette Walls

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

I do not over-intellectualize the production process. I try to keep it simple: Tell the damned story.

Tom Clancy

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

Joseph Conrad
