Writing From Experience Quotes

I want to be as honest as I can about the things I’ve been through - the sorrows and joys, victories and defeats - and to use those experiences as a well to draw from. Hopefully, the songs that result from that kind of writing will be songs that mean something to others Picture Quote #1

Parents, it seems, have an almost Olympian persistence when it comes to suggesting more secure and lucrative lines of work for their children who have the notion that writing is an actual profession. I say this from experience Picture Quote #1

I remember that when I got to NYU, everyone was writing scripts. But I was 18 at the time, and when you write a script, so much of it is about what you pull from life, and this sounds sort of cheesy, but I felt like I didn’t have enough life experience at that point to write a movie Picture Quote #1

I really like writing from real-life experiences. Audiences seem to prefer the stuff I couldn’t have made up Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t write about love without writing about hate - specifically, how the experience of hatred embeds itself in the body and prevents love from entering or leaving Picture Quote #1

As much as writing is an emotional experience, it is a business as well. Coming from a business background, I treat it as such Picture Quote #1

If you read a book about school - someone else’s book - you always translate it into your own school experiences. It’s describing the student: he’s bewildered and lost in a large crowd in a university classroom. You’ll visualize that from your own experiences. So, everything you know is what you’re really writing Picture Quote #1

I take my inspiration for the song writing from little experiences, not even if I’ve experienced them myself but say if something has made me sad, I will use that emotion. I just use everyday life and write about it Picture Quote #1

However far fiction writers stray from their own lives and experiences - and I stray pretty far from mine - I think, ultimately, that we may be writing what we need to write in some way, albeit unconsciously Picture Quote #1

Good writing works from a simple premise: your experience is not yours alone, but in some sense a metaphor for everyone’s Picture Quote #1

It ended up being a very good thing, because they finally started writing for the character, and I realized that you have to go to work with a purpose. I learned from the experience and then moved on Picture Quote #1

When I'm writing, I'm trying to immerse myself in the chaos of an emotional experience, rather than separate myself from it and look back at it from a distance with clarity and tell it as a story. Because that's how life is lived, you know? Picture Quote #1
