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

William Shawn

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

Jeanette Walls

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

Stephen King

In Hollywood, the woods are full of people that learned to write but evidently can’t read. If they could read their stuff, they’d stop writing.

Will Rogers

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

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

Steven Bochco

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

Dan Poynter

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

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

Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade, just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.

Truman Capote Quote

Writers aren’t people exactly. Or, if they’re any good, they’re a whole lot of people trying so hard to be one person.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

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

Jodi Picoult

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

Oscar Wilde

Editor: A person employed by a newspaper, whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to see that the chaff is printed.

Elbert Hubbard

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

Joseph Conrad

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

Michael Burke

Work on a computer that is disconnected from the Internet.

Zadie Smith

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

Matthew Arnold

Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.

Robert A. Heinlein

I write the last line, and then I write the line before that. I find myself writing backwards for a while, until I have a solid sense of how that ending sounds and feels. You have to know what your voice sounds like at the end of the story, because it tells you how to sound when you begin.

John Irving
