A screenwriting ghostwriter has an ethics problem.

Work on a computer that is disconnected from the Internet.

Zadie Smith

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 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

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

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

G.K. Chesterton

Don’t annoy an author, you’ll end up in their book and you won’t look good.

Lawrence Wray

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

Steven Bochco

Just don’t be boring!

Robert Liebmann

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

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

Mickey Spillane

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

William Goldman

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

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

E. B. White

Keep a small can of WD-40 on your desk — away from any open flames — to remind yourself that if you don’t write daily, you will get rusty.

George Singleton

It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn’t give it up because by that time I was too famous.

Robert Benchley

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

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

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

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

Dan Poynter

If you start with a bang, you won’t end with a whimper.

T.S. Eliot
