Writing Difficulty Quotes

However, the difficulties and pleasures of the writing itself are similar for a novel with a historical setting and a novel with a contemporary setting, as far as I’m concerned Picture Quote #1

I had dinner with Marlene Dietrich in the early 1970s. I went to pick her up and she had someone with her, a dreadful man. He was writing a book about her, and he said to her, ‘You’re so cold when you perform,’ and she said, ‘You didn’t listen to the voice.’ She said the difficulty was to place the voice with the face Picture Quote #1

I write by hand, making many, many corrections. I would say I cross out more than I write. I have to hunt for words when I speak, and I have the same difficulty when writing Picture Quote #1

When I feel difficulty coming on, I switch to another book I’m writing. When I get back to the problem, my unconscious has solved it Picture Quote #1

I realized going back and writing and explaining in details the difficulties I had lived actually became emotional again. It’s like therapy but sometimes therapy can be painful. But it’s part of life and part of the autobiography so I’ll have to finish it sooner or later Picture Quote #1

One would think that in writing about literary men and matters there would be no difficulty in finding a title for one’s essay, or that any embarrassment which might arise would be from excess of material. I find this, however, far from being the case Picture Quote #1

There is, I think, great difficulty in writing of one’s self: it is almost impossible to present subjects where the chief actor must be conspicuous and not seem to be, or really be, egotistical Picture Quote #1

Every acting gig isn’t the same, every writing job isn’t the same, every live performance isn’t the same - the challenge is the level of difficulty or ease, and that may vary Picture Quote #1

I have great difficulty sitting in the middle of the night and writing. Everything I do comes spontaneous. Sometimes it takes a long time; sometimes it comes just like that Picture Quote #1

I have had quite a lot of prizes, but I don’t think it makes any difference to the ease or difficulty to the writing process Picture Quote #1

As for critical writing about modernism, its moments of lucidity are but fulgurations illuminating the dark and incomprehensible landscape of its subject’s unabashed difficulty Picture Quote #1

The difficulty in these stories is that if you write about everywhere you can end up writing about nowhere Picture Quote #1

Armchair poverty tourism has been around as long as authors have written about class. As an author, I have struggled myself with the nuances of writing about poverty without reducing any community to a catalog of its difficulties Picture Quote #1

The difficulty of writing about sex, for women, is that sex is best when not thought about, not analysed Picture Quote #1
