Beginning Writers Quotes

Nobody wanted me. I just kept writing books and learning my craft. Most writers aren’t very good in the beginning Picture Quote #1

First and foremost, I consider myself a storyteller. And I’m endlessly fascinated with people, with what they do and why... and how they feel about it. Which means I’m interested in romance fiction. I was drawn to it, as both a reader and a writer, at the very beginning of my career. It’s my kind of storytelling Picture Quote #1

I would advise any beginning writer to write the first drafts as if no one else will ever read them - without a thought about publication - and only in the last draft to consider how the work will look from the outside Picture Quote #1

If I have any advantage, maybe, as a writer, it is that I don’t think I’m very interesting. I mean, beginning a novel with the last sentence is a pretty plodding way to spend your life Picture Quote #1

One of the things that I tell beginning writers is this: If you describe a landscape, or a cityscape, or a seascape, always be sure to put a human figure somewhere in the scene. Why? Because readers are human beings, mostly interested in human beings. People are humanists. Most of them are humanists, that is Picture Quote #1

When you finally start to write something, do not let yourself stop...even when you are convinced it’s the worst garbage ever. This is the biggest caveat for beginning writers. Instead, force yourself to finish what you began, and THEN go back and edit it Picture Quote #1

What’s strange is how many beginning writers seem to think that grammar is irrelevant, or that they are somehow above or beyond this subject more fit for a schoolchild than the future author of great literature Picture Quote #1

Don’t mistake a good setup for a satisfying conclusion - many beginning writers end their stories when the real story is just ready to begin Picture Quote #1

So it’s tough, man, because you want to have credibility Picture Quote #1

Beginning writers must appreciate the prerequisites if they hope to become writers. You pay your dues - which takes years Picture Quote #1

Less really is more. It’s a tendency of beginning writers to want to prove what they’re talking about by going too far with description. I think you’ve got to keep it short, crisp and clean Picture Quote #1

Advice to beginning SF writers? Write a lot, finish what you write, and when it’s done, keep sending it out for quite awhile Picture Quote #1
