Text Quotes
When I’m writing about reality, I’m writing about death. When I’m writing fiction, I’m writing about life. (Fiction Quotes)
Writing historical novels can be dangerous. We need to be as accurate and as fair about the historical record as we can be, at the same time as creating our fictional characters and, hopefully, telling a good story. The challenge is weaving the fiction into the history. (Fiction Quotes)
One of the things that makes characters real is details. Life offers a lot of details. You just have to choose and use them wisely. When you give them to fictional people and a fictional story, their purpose and their meaning changes, so it’s best to see the version in the book as fiction entirely, wherever it started out. (Fiction Quotes)
Fictional stories were written so that they seemed real, kind of like a well-executed lie. Fiction creates an unreal world that’s better than the real one. (Fiction Quotes)
In prose fiction the freedom to work honestly exists, although you may have to fight for it. In those other areas of literature, I mean drama, there is only silence. That sort of aesthetic integrity does not exist in radio and television, and seldom on film. (Fiction Quotes)
I’m a failed poet. Reading poetry helps me to see the world differently, and I try to infuse my prose with figurative language, which goes against the trend in fiction. (Fiction Quotes)
It’s always seemed to me that photography tends to deal with facts whereas film tends to deal with fiction. (Fiction Quotes)
I sometimes get asked if I think about film stuff while I’m writing fiction, and the answer is, of course not. (Fiction Quotes)
When I was a child, there was very little money, so I’ve always been concerned for my financial security, which has meant that finding myself as a writer was a bad move. The practical difference the money has made is that I can support myself by fiction. That is what I have been trying to do throughout my life. (Fiction Quotes)
For me, writing historical fiction is all about finding a balance between reading, traveling, looking, imagining, and dreaming. (Fiction Quotes)
The hardest part about writing fiction is finding long stretches of time to do it: for me, this means writing mostly on Saturdays and Sundays. But I am always thinking about my characters, jotting down ideas in stolen moments and hoping I’ll be able to make sense of them when the weekend rolls around. (Fiction Quotes)
Somewhere I put it this way: first drafts are for learning what one’s fiction wants him to say. Revision works with that knowledge to enlarge and enhance an idea, to reform it. Revision is one of the exquisite pleasures of writing. (Fiction Quotes)
To solve the drug problem, we have to start at the root - first grade. If a boy has all the toys in his head that reading can give him, and you hook him into science fiction, then you’ve got the future secured. (Fiction Quotes)
My first novel took almost six years to sell and was rejected 37 times in the interim, and then finally sold for the smallest amount of money my literary agent had ever negotiated for a work of fiction. (Fiction Quotes)
The first science fiction show on television was ‘Tales Of Tomorrow’ using scripts from the radio show ‘X-1’ which used stories from ‘Galaxy Magazine’ as its source material. (Fiction Quotes)
In a science fiction movie, the first act is a little longer than it is in most movies because there is so much world building to do. (Fiction Quotes)
After I’d been a lawyer for about five or six years, I started playing around with fiction (Fiction Quotes)
I don’t see much difference between prose poems and flash fiction (I’ve often taught the latter as the former), but then I also don’t see that much difference between art and poetry. (Fiction Quotes)
I’m not a ‘long writer’ and have never wanted to write a novel or even a novella. Poetry, like flash fiction, provides a readily accessible canvas to play with. Whether to express an emotion or share a vignette, these forms are often interchangeable. (Fiction Quotes)
Hollywood wants to go for the flash, because that’s what a lot of them think science fiction is. (Fiction Quotes)
It’s just science fiction so it’s allowed to be silly, and childish, and stupid. It’s just science fiction, so it doesn’t have to make sense. It’s just science fiction, so you must ask nothing more of it than loud noises and flashing lights. (Fiction Quotes)
One thing I like about historical fiction is that I’m not constantly focusing on me, or people like me; you’re obliged to concentrate on lives that are completely other than your own. (Fiction Quotes)
In this choice, as I look back over more than half a century, I can only follow - and trust - the same sort of instinct that one follows in the art of fiction. (Fiction Quotes)
Today’s recording techniques would have been regarded as science fiction forty years ago (Fiction Quotes)
I gravitated to Judy Blume early on. ‘Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing’ was my favorite, with a realistic and relatable protagonist in Peter Hatcher. When I reached the fourth grade, I made the leap to science fiction and never looked back. (Fiction Quotes)
Nonfiction is both easier and harder to write than fiction. It’s easier because the facts are already laid out before you, and there is already a narrative arc. What makes it harder is that you are not free to use your imagination and creativity to fill in any missing gaps within the story. (Fiction Quotes)
In writing fiction, I can be free. I can use my life. The raw material is my experiences. (Fiction Quotes)
When I am writing fiction, I believe I am much better organized, more methodical - one has to be when writing a novel. Writing poetry is a state of free float. (Fiction Quotes)
All writers and their readers should stand up and voice their opposition to financial services companies censoring books. Authors should have the freedom to publish legal fiction, and readers should have the freedom to read what they want. (Fiction Quotes)
A work of art can start you thinking about some aesthetic or philosophical problem; it can suggest some new method, some fresh approach to fiction. (Fiction Quotes)
