Chapter Quotes

Can one end anything? A chapter, a paragraph, a sentence even? Doesn’t everything one has ever done go on living in spite of subsequent events? Picture Quote #1

Literally thousands of e-mails over the course of a book go out to people I’ve never met, people who might end up being the focus of a chapter Picture Quote #1

I felt like my favorite writers have almost musical hooks in their work, whether it’s poetry or a hook at the end of a chapter that makes you want to read the next one. And I think that my favorite writers definitely have something musical about what they do, in saying something so relatable and universal and so simple Picture Quote #1

Write every day. Don’t kill yourself. I think a lot of people think, ‘I have to write a chapter a day’ and they can’t. They fall behind and stop doing it. But if you just write even one hundred words a day, it’s not that much. By the end of a month, you’ll have three thousand words, which is one chapter Picture Quote #1

I try to end every chapter with an air of suspense. I try to leave the reader wanting to turn the page Picture Quote #1

Man, you weigh a freaking ton. What have you been eating, rocks? * Max: Why, is your head missing some? o Chapter 68 p. 214 Fang carried Max while flying after she had a stroke or something. Gazzy: I vill now destroy de Snickuhs bahs! ter Borcht: Is dere anysing special about you? Anysing vorth saving? Fang: Besides my fashion sense? I play a mean harmonica Picture Quote #1

Writers displace their anxiety on to the tools of the trade. It’s better to say that you haven’t got the right pencil than to say you can’t write, or to blame your computer for losing your chapter than face up to your feeling that it’s better lost Picture Quote #1

When you make loving others the story of your life, there’s never a final chapter, because the legacy continues. You lend your light to one person, and he or she shines it on another and another and another Picture Quote #1

I wrote ‘Mr. In-Between’ very quickly when I was about 23. I wrote the penultimate chapter, then realised I’d done something which was written to the best of my abilities. I panicked. I hesitated to finish the final chapter and went into withdrawal for three years. I decided to pick it up again after I went drinking with author Tim Binding Picture Quote #1

But stories don’t end. They continue as long as you’re alive. You just have to get on with things. Turn the page, start a new chapter, find out what’s in store for you next, and keep your fingers crossed that it’s not too awful. Even if you know in your heart and soul that it most probably will be Picture Quote #1

It’s very inconvenient because every time I finish, let’s say, a chapter of a book, I think I’m going to ring Richard and then realize: Oh, Christ, I’ve buried him. I buried him last year Picture Quote #1

I think in terms of chapters. Every time I finish a movie, it’s a chapter. When one of my kids graduates from school, that’s a chapter Picture Quote #1

My first child is going to be the oldest sibling to the next kid, and that may change with each and every year. I’m looking forward to how one baby influences the other, and to my family as a whole, to every single chapter Picture Quote #1

Try this New Year’s resolution: I won’t check my phone, my tablet, or my computer until I’ve first read a chapter in my Bible Picture Quote #1

I don’t have a schedule, but I can write for hours non-stop. If I’m drafting a book, I try and do a chapter a day. I dislike first drafts. Revision is a lot more fun, but it takes years Picture Quote #1

While I cannot prevent the birds from flying over my head, I can prevent them from making a nest in my hair. - Chapter 5 My Cinderella Picture Quote #1

I originally wrote ‘The Martian’ as a free serial novel, posting one chapter at a time to my website Picture Quote #1

In the Netherlands I read the first chapter of Exquisite Corpse to an audience that laughed in all the places I thought were funny - an experience I’ve never had in America! Picture Quote #1

In the original introduction to the word meme in the last chapter of ‘The Selfish Gene,’ I did actually use the metaphor of a ‘virus.’ So when anybody talks about something going viral on the Internet, that is exactly what a meme is, and it looks as though the word has been appropriated for a subset of that Picture Quote #1

I write a chapter, then edit it and edit it and edit it and edit it. I don’t think we mine creativity from within. It’s bestowed from on high, from God Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been someone who’s really tried to live in the here and now. My memory isn’t very good so maybe that’s why, but it just seems like I’ve been living this life, my current chapter, for a really long time and I don’t really remember what it was like before. It’s just been sort of ingrained in me. What I deal with day to day Picture Quote #1

Life is full of change, honey. That’s how we learn and grow. When we’re born, the Good Lord gives each of us a Life book. Chapter by chapter, we live and learn Picture Quote #1

Novelists who pretend to understand what keeps them scribbling are really just guessing. A profound, unmet childish need to be acknowledged? Maybe. It hardly matters, though. The termite that asks itself why it keeps chewing risks becoming sluggish and inefficient, as does the writer who grows self-conscious in the middle of chapter five Picture Quote #1

Sometimes it’s hard to start, but once it gets going, once you reach the tipping point - usually between chapter seven and nine - then it’s like hanging onto a large snowball as it hurtles downhill Picture Quote #1

If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it’s not going to be fired, it shouldn’t be hanging there Picture Quote #1

I gotta be honest with you... I hate numbers. I hate chapter numbers. I hate them Picture Quote #1

The Next Chapter in the Book of Hope: Gaining New Hope Hearing Aids As I was with the Lord in the Classroom of Useful Information, the Lord began to share from the second chapter of the Book of Hope. This chapter taught about the right, hopeful Hearing Aids that would enable His Hope Craftsmen to hear His voice and become a company of hopeful Kingdom hearers Picture Quote #1
