Writer Quotes

When I was young, I wanted to be a writer or painter. I was always writing stories, and I excelled at drawing. My teachers encouraged my art work. When I was 9 or 10, I began learning piano and started writing music Picture Quote #1

I’m a binge writer. I work in the music business fulltime, in artist management and developing songwriters and recording artists, and so juggling my job I carve out as much time as I can on the weekends Picture Quote #1

A Writer is Actor, Creator, Director and Producer Of HIS Life. Ask ME anything Picture Quote #1

I was raised in a large family. The first reason for my travel was to get away from my family. I knew that I wanted to be a writer, but I didn’t want people to ask me questions about it Picture Quote #1

Because you’re a crime writer you’re asked to have a point of view on a lot of things, and I’m uncomfortable having public opinions on things that are not my professional area Picture Quote #1

I started out as a writer and a director. I started acting because I wanted to know how to relate to the actors. When people ask me what I do, I don’t really say that I’m an actor, because actors often wait for someone to give them roles Picture Quote #1

Sometimes you make a connection with a writer or a piece of material, and there’s not much to ask Picture Quote #1

There are two questions that you ask yourself as a writer, and one of them is, ‘But why?’ The question that takes the book forward is, ‘What if? What if x y or z happened? How would those characters react?’ Picture Quote #1

Like most people, I was not able to start selling my stories right away. So I had many other jobs along the way to becoming a writer, including toy maker, gravedigger, cookware salesman, and assembly line worker. Eventually, I became an elementary teacher and worked with second and fourth graders Picture Quote #1

I am a muso, and I love doing it. I assumed that would be my career for a long time. I always wanted to be a writer, but I didn’t think that anyone could actually be that full-time, so I always go back to conducting and arranging and playing. If you scratch me, I’m a musician Picture Quote #1

But I think talent as a writer is hard-wired in, it’s all there, at least the basic elements of it. You can’t change it any more than you can choose whether to be right handed or left handed Picture Quote #1

We like to think about how smart we are. But I think talent as a writer is hard-wired in, it’s all there, at least the basic elements of it. You can’t change it any more than you can choose whether to be right handed or left handed Picture Quote #1

Your attitude is everything. Believe in yourself and trust your material. To be a successful writer, write every single day where you feel like it or not. Never, never give up, and the world will reward you beyond your wildest dreams Picture Quote #1

I trained as a writer before I became a lawyer. I was headed for a life as an English professor, but that just wasn’t me. I’m not a scholar; I didn’t have a scholar’s attitude toward literature Picture Quote #1

The whole duty of a writer is to please and satisfy himself, and the true writer always plays to an audience of one Picture Quote #1

Thanks to social media like Facebook, Twitter and Goodreads, I can easily reach out to so many people. Being a writer gives me the added bonus of a targeted audience: readers, who enjoy targeted ‘prizes’ for participation in fundraisers - books and other neat promo items Picture Quote #1

I’ve had aunts and uncles who not only haven’t read my books but could hardly believe that I was a writer Picture Quote #1

I’m a compulsive storyteller, an avid reader, and have always nurtured the secret goal of spending my life as a writer Picture Quote #1

The most profound, life-altering gift you can offer the Indie writer you love is to TELL as MANY avid readers as you are able Picture Quote #1

I know people who have gone into career death spins, and that’s something you’re always aware of as a writer Picture Quote #1

It’s often the case that the most strained moments in books are the very beginning and the very end - the getting in and the getting out. The ending, especially: it’s awkward, as if the writer doesn’t know when the book is over and nervously says it all again Picture Quote #1

... every writer I had ever known wrote his best work when he had his back up against the wall and thought he would never write another word Picture Quote #1

My dad is a great writer. Naturally talented, naturally charming. He embodies that back-in-the-day cool Picture Quote #1

I looked back at some high school journals and discovered that I definitely wanted to be a writer, but not necessarily comedy Picture Quote #1

The legacy of the fairy story in my brain is that everything will work out. In fiction it would be very hard for me, as a writer, to give a bad ending to a good character, or give a good ending to a bad character. That’s probably not a very postmodern thing to say Picture Quote #1

Probably the greatest writer of westerns himself was Homer. His character were never all good or all bad. They’re half and half, these characters, as all human beings are Picture Quote #1

Quite often you want to tell somebody your dream, your nightmare. Well, nobody wants to hear about someone else’s dream, good or bad; nobody wants to walk around with it. The writer is always tricking the reader into listening to the dream Picture Quote #1

Step out from behind the words. When you’re a writer you can imagine that the words speak for you and are you, but they’re not. You are this living breathing bad hair day kind of person Picture Quote #1

I think of myself as a bad writer with big ideas, but I’d rather be that than a big writer with bad ideas Picture Quote #1

Architecture is a very dangerous job. If a writer makes a bad book, eh, people don’t read it. But if you make bad architecture, you impose ugliness on a place for a hundred years Picture Quote #1
