Easy reading is damn hard writing.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

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

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

Jim Morrison

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

Every writer with half a brain knows to surround himself or herself with editors who are smarter, far more articulate and infinitely better looking.

Chris Claremont

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

Tom Clancy

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

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

Jeanette Walls

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

Joseph Conrad

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

William Goldman

I have long felt that any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has just put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae or banana split.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr

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

Steven Bochco

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

Matthew Arnold

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

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

Thomas Jefferson

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

William Shawn

A true author, no matter the medium, is an artist with godlike knowledge of his subject, and the proof of his authorship is that his pages smack of authority.

Robert McKee

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

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