How to write a book with a ghostwriter.

The road to ignorance is paved with good editors.

George Bernard Shaw

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

E. B. White

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

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

C. J. Cherryh

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

Oscar Wilde

If you haven’t got an idea, start a story anyway. You can always throw it away, and maybe by the time you get to the fourth page you will have an idea, and you’ll only have to throw away the first three pages.

William C. Gault

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

William Goldman

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

Jeanette Walls

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

If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it’s to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel.

Jim Morrison

Critics are people who sit on the mountaintop and look down on the battlefield. When the fighting is finished, they take it upon themselves to come down from the mountain and shoot the survivors.

Robert Altman

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

Stan Lee

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

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

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

Matthew Arnold

A writer is a world trapped in a person.

Victor Hugo

Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost how it feels about dogs.

Christopher Hampton

The first chapter sells the book; the last chapter sells the next book.

Mickey Spillane

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

Thomas Jefferson

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

Stephen King
