How To Write Quotes

My next project is to get back to that. Actually, to learn how to write poetry. I’m not kidding Picture Quote #1

But it is not at all unthinkable for anyone to tell a writer how to write. It comes with the territory Picture Quote #1

You do not learn how to write novels in a writing program. You learn how by leading an interesting life. Open yourself up to all experience. Let life pour through you the way light pours through leaves Picture Quote #1

Writing teaches writing. Your writing will teach you how to write if you work hard enough and have enough faith Picture Quote #1

Until I became a published writer, I remained completely ignorant of books on how to write and courses on the subject... they would have spoiled my natural style; made me observe caution; would have hedged me with rules Picture Quote #1

I am profoundly uncertain how to write. I know what I love and what I like, because it’s a direct passionate response. But when I write, I’m very uncertain whether it’s good enough. That is, of course, the writer’s agony Picture Quote #1

Reading the word and learning how to write the word so one can later read it are preceded by learning how to write the world, that is having the experience of changing the world and touching the world Picture Quote #1

The hardest thing to do is to write straight honest prose on human beings. First you have to know the subject; then you have to know how to write. Both take a lifetime to learn, and anybody is cheating who takes politics as a way out. All the outs are too easy, and the thing itself is too hard to do Picture Quote #1

A writer’s problem does not change. He himself changes and the world he lives in changes but his problem remains the same. It is always how to write truly and having found what is true, to project it is such a way that it becomes a part of the experience of the person who reads it Picture Quote #1

If you’re a woman who doesn’t know how to write, you’re going to cry every night. But if you do, no problem Picture Quote #1

I would rather not know how to write and have something to say than know how to write and have nothing to say Picture Quote #1

I remember in my early 20s when I felt I couldn’t live past 30. I was learning how to write. I had a lot of hard work ahead of me Picture Quote #1

Pop songs are not as graceful as they used to be. Performers today haven’t gone through the regimen of learning how to write. And of course, everyone wants to own copyrights. Rap culture is interesting and different and has purpose, but it has a nonromantic view of life and of social feelings. There may be a void in that Picture Quote #1

You should write because you love the shape of stories and sentences and the creation of different words on a page. Writing comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to write Picture Quote #1

It's none of their business that you have to learn how to write. Let them think you were born that way Picture Quote #1

First person narrators is the way I know how to write a book with the greatest power and chance of artistic success Picture Quote #1

It's a little silly to finally learn how to write at this age. But I long ago realized I was secretly sincere Picture Quote #1

I really think that reading is just as important as writing when you're trying to be a writer. Because it's the only apprenticeship we have. It's the only way of learning how to write a story Picture Quote #1

I’d like to teach kids how to write songs. This will be my first year so I’m just as green as some of the rest of the folks. It’s like a music camp and I get to hang out with some of the past contestants Picture Quote #1

Ever since I could first write I have been doing so. When I was taught how to write and read at school, I made up my mind that this was what I love to do best and this was the world I was going to occupy Picture Quote #1

At least for the people who send me mail about a new language that they’re designing, the general advice is: do it to learn about how to write a compiler Picture Quote #1

For me, a play is a form of writing which isn’t complete until it is interpreted by actors. But it’s still a form of writing. And so most of my time is spent thinking about how to write a sentence Picture Quote #1

I have no interest in teaching writers how to sell. I want to teach them how to write. If the process is sound, the product will take care of itself, and sales are likely to follow Picture Quote #1

Advice? Focus on the craft. Study the greats. Try and understand how and why they made the writing choices they did. Then, start by copying them... just as an exercise. See if you can do similar things. Learn how to write a song like so and so. Then, when you’ve done that, write a song like yourself. Learn to color within the lines before going outside them Picture Quote #1

There is no rule on how to write. Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly; sometimes it’s like drilling rock and then blasting it out with charges Picture Quote #1
