Joanna Trollope Quotes

I always love writing about children Picture Quote #1

I’m a third done into a new book but sorry - I have a superstition about talking about it! Picture Quote #1

I’m no lyrical stylist; you wouldn’t pick me for a perfect sentence, and I certainly wouldn’t describe my novels as intellectual Picture Quote #1

My advice would be not to write until after 35. You need some experience, and for life to knock you about a bit. Growing up is so hard you probably won’t have much emotion to spare anyway Picture Quote #1

You can’t love a library of e-books. You can’t furnish a room with e-books Picture Quote #1

You can’t help parts of yourself leaking into other characters Picture Quote #1

I plot the first 5 or 6 chapters quite minutely, and also the end. So I know where I am going but not how I’m going to get there, which gives characters the chance to develop organically, as happens in real life as you get to know a person Picture Quote #1

I don’t always set stories in villages, more often in towns. But always in smallish communities because the characters’ actions are more visible there, and the dramatic tension is heightened Picture Quote #1

All TV can do is capture the spirit of a book because the medium is so utterly different. But I’m very grateful for the readers that Masterpiece theatre has undoubtedly brought me Picture Quote #1

I’m actually rather orderly, although the way that I write is not Picture Quote #1

Oddly my name has been no professional help at all! It seems to have made no difference. I admire him hugely, both for his benevolence and his enormous psychological perception Picture Quote #1

You can’t be too old to be a writer, but you can definitely be too young! Picture Quote #1

I’ve experienced huge kindness here, a great welcome and some very generous reviews without the snide social edge I often suffer from at home. I’m not patronized here either, which I much appreciate! Picture Quote #1

I am not a fan of the cupcake image. This idea that you can distract a girl with something frivolous like a cake or shoes or handbags, and she won’t be a threat to men Picture Quote #1

My view of an excellent novel was probably set in the golden age of fiction in the 19th century: narrative, character and voice are of equal importance Picture Quote #1

You can change yourself and you can change the situation but you absolutely cannot change other people. Only they can do that Picture Quote #1
