Many times, working is kind of like channeling, and I really don’t know what’s going to fall on the page. I just did this image of a fat girl and put her on a tiny mountain peak of grass that she’s walking over. It just amused me Picture Quote #1

In the Wake’ was a very bleak book. This relationship was not too good, the father and son. This time around, I wanted a father and a son who really loved each other, which would be visible on the first page and would still be there on the last page Picture Quote #1

I bring a copy of ‘Dracula’ with me wherever I go, the book. It’s my favorite book in the world, it’s absolutely incredible. My great-great grandfather was the guy who printed the first edition, so he’s the first person to ever put ‘Dracula’ on the written page Picture Quote #1

The same sports sayings seem to be used over and over again. If you have your own favorite sport saying and would like to share it, or possibly a story you would like to add please continue to our contributor page Picture Quote #1

Back in 2004, Kellie Overbey handed me her play ‘Girl Talk’ to read. I fell in love with her brutally delicious humor and the fearlessly deft way in which she drew her characters. They jumped off the page and begged me to give them a space in which to stomp around Picture Quote #1

I began to ask two questions while I was reading a book that excited me: not only what was going to happen next, but how is this done? How is it that these words on the page make me feel the way I’m feeling?

Casting is so important, with any film you do. You have to get actors that you believe will fulfill the promise of the characters that are on the page 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

Every page of content you’ve created could be the first interaction with your web site.Think of every page as a home page Picture Quote #1

Above all, a query letter is a sales pitch and it is the single most important page an unpublished writer will ever write. It’s the first impression and will either open the door or close it. It’s that important, so don’t mess it up. Mine took 17 drafts and two weeks to write Picture Quote #1

As much as I want to go out and tour every single day and I’m ready to rip it right now, there’s five people in the band, there’s five people who’ve evolved and grown and there’s five people who have to get on the same page and want the same things, and it takes a lot to tour Picture Quote #1

I have a Facebook page and a website. Beyond that, I’m actually a very private person. I’d rather see the focus on the books than on me Picture Quote #1

Until Sammy Baugh - pro football in Texas was a one-paragraph story on the third page of the Monday sports section Picture Quote #1

To divine the course of world events, you’d do as well to probe the entrails of dead animals. Better still, ask your hairstylist. She will be at least as insightful and probably more entertaining a prophet than anyone you can read in Foreign Affairs or the op-ed page of the Washington Post Picture Quote #1

When I write I try as far as possible to forget I’m writing it at all. I tell it down onto the page, as if I’m telling it to one person only, my best friend Picture Quote #1

No matter what I’ve published - and you can look it up, I’ve published quite a lot in science, quite a few books too - none of it’s very important. All will be forgotten and in a few years time will be a few comments in eight-point type in footnotes at the bottom of the page somewhere Picture Quote #1

I do think that once you remove the limitations of the page, once you turn text transitive, meaning it can be clicked away from, the forward movement of text can be interrupted. But I don’t think this is just a function of technology. It’s also a function of cultural preference Picture Quote #1

I’m interested in all kinds of sports. I’ll glance at the front page and then go straight to sports and then I’ll come back to the rest of the paper Picture Quote #1

We all know funny people who can’t get it down on the page - even funny writers who can’t get it down on the page Picture Quote #1

A character on a page has to feel real, and for me the greatest fun is if you could gender-swap the role Picture Quote #1

I’m never happy with what I’ve written. You imagine, before you start, there’s a cathedral, and the moment it starts on the page, it’s a garden shed. And then you just try to make it the best shed you can Picture Quote #1

I’ve always thought that one of the least successful encounters is meeting a writer one admires. For one thing, writers are generally much kinder, more empathetic, more generous people on the page than they are in person Picture Quote #1

Write what you really care about. Write what you want to say because that is the experience that always rates as genuine on the page Picture Quote #1

Often it seems that there are writers who are their best selves on the page. That Seamus Heaney was as genuine and deeply admirable in person as in his poems was to me a gift, then as now Picture Quote #1

This is a great time for the ‘guerilla marketer.’ The days when you used to have to buy expensive TV time and a yellow page ad to get started are gone Picture Quote #1

I’ve done films where you have to get in shape for purely vanity reasons, when you read a script, turn to page 87 and it says: Rips his shirt off and casually throws it onto chair - and you’re going to go to the gym the next day because nobody wants to see your big fat arse out there taking your shirt off! Picture Quote #1

I haven’t sworn off Facebook. I’m on Facebook. There’s a fan page on Facebook that I will update, but I’m on there myself under a pseudonym, because there were a lot of people able to private-message me on Facebook, and it was getting really weird Picture Quote #1

We’re living at a time where if you do a Google search for a ‘show, review and network,’ you’ll get ‘The New York Times’ and Pete Billingsley from a town you’ve never heard of on the same results page. It’s kind of democratizing the process so that everyone has access to a distribution system to express themselves Picture Quote #1
