I am looking for the novelists whose writing is an extension of their intellect rather than an extension of their neurosis (Writing Quotes)
Writing songs, that’s what gets me going. Not the drugs or the sex or the rock’n’roll behaviour, it’s the music (Writing Quotes)
I want my stories to move people... to feel some kind of reward from the writing (Writing Quotes)
Most writing doesn’t take place on the page; it takes place in your head (Writing Quotes)

Writing a novel is not so much a project as a journey, a voyage, an adventure (Writing Quotes)
It’s the writing, not the being read, that excites me. Joy is in the doing (Writing Quotes)
The first law for the historian is that he shall never dare utter an untruth. The second is that he shall suppress nothing that is true. Moreover, there shall be no suspicion of partiality in his writing, or of malice (Writing Quotes)
Writing is like a little hole in reality that you can go through and you can get out and you can be someplace else for a while (Writing Quotes)
The story was writing itself and I was having a hard time keeping up with it (Writing Quotes)

I feel I’m able to get rid of any demons lurking in my psyche through my writing, which leaves me free to create all of this and to enjoy our family life, stepping away from all the fictional traumas and the dramas. If I write about family in crisis, then I won’t have to live through it, I guess (Writing Quotes)
Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant.

I think every professor and writer is in some way an exhibitionist because his or her normal activity is a theatrical one. When you give a lesson the situation is the same as writing a book. You have to capture the attention, the complicity of your audience (Writing Quotes)
The beginning and the end are never really the journey of discovery for me. It is the middle that remains a puzzle until well into the writing. That’s how life is most of the time, isn’t it? You know where you are and where you hope to wind up. It’s the getting there that’s challenging (Writing Quotes)
A writer is someone who spends years patiently trying to discover the second being inside him, and the world that makes him who he is: when I speak of writing, what comes first to my mind is not a novel, a poem, or literary tradition, it is a person who shuts himself up in a room, sits down at a table, and alone, turns inward; amid its shadows, he builds a new world with words (Writing Quotes)
Being incomprehensible offers unparalleled protection against having nothing to say... but writing with simplicity requires courage, for there is a danger that one will be overlooked, dismissed as simpleminded by those with a tenacious belief that the impassable prose is a hallmark of intelligence (Writing Quotes)
When things are going well, you do have the sense that what you’re writing is being fed to you in some way. Auden compared writing a poem to cleaning an old piece of slate until the letters appear. The only way you could reveal your God is perhaps under hypnosis. It’s sacred and it’s secret, even to the writer (Writing Quotes)
