Video: Ghostwriting Scam – We found the bad guys.

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

Tom Clancy

Do you know what a playwright is? A playwright is someone who lets his guts hang out on the stage.

Edward Albee

I get up in the morning, torture a typewriter until it screams, then stop.

Clarence Budington Kelland

A writer is a world trapped in a person.

Victor Hugo

You can always edit a bad page. You can’t edit a blank page.

Jodi Picoult

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

C. J. Cherryh

To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I’m writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I’m going to play for the opening sequence.

Quentin Tarantino

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

Raymond Chandler

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

Gloria Steinem

It is only natural to pattern yourself after someone. But you can’t just copy someone. If you like someone’s work, the important thing is to be exposed to everything that person has been exposed to.

Bob Dylan

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

William Goldman

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

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

Joseph Conrad

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

Roald Dahl

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

Easy reading is damn hard writing.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

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

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

Stephen King

Just don’t be boring!

Robert Liebmann

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

Oscar Wilde
