Text Quotes
My kids don’t really like when I sing for some reason... but they like when I play guitar. So I started writing songs just playing guitar for them (Writing Quotes)
I like writing teen characters because they’re vulnerable to the newness of things; and vulnerability makes emotional responses raw, vital and unguarded. Lacking a context of consequences, choices are riskier and stakes higher. Life is lived without a safety net. As an author and reader, I find that a mighty charge to drama (Writing Quotes)
I love contemporary poetry because it moves between what we call poetry and what we call philosophy. It joins these fields and makes writing more natural, as in how it is lived in the person. We don’t separate thinking from feeling in real life, so why should we separate it in writing? (Writing Quotes)
Once I got started, I wanted the life of a writer so fiercely that nothing could stop me. I wanted the intensity, the sense of aliveness that came from writing fiction. I’m still that way. My life is worth living when I’ve completed a good paragraph (Writing Quotes)
The good thing about writing a true story is that you don’t have to worry about giving an impression of realism (Writing Quotes)
The trick in writing children’s books is to set up danger, mystery and excitement on page one. Force the kid to turn the page... Then in the middle of each chapter there’s a dramatic point of excitement, and at chapter’s end, a cliffhanger (Writing Quotes)
I have all these revelations as I’m writing. Each song is like a chapter of my diary (Writing Quotes)
Writing can’t change the world overnight, but writing may have an enormous effect over time, over the long haul (Writing Quotes)
Equal interchange of goods and service between buyer and seller is the keynote of tomorrow’s business world when the vision of the modern business man awakens him to the wisdom of writing that policy into his code of ethics (Writing Quotes)
The process of writing fiction is totally unconscious. It comes from what you are learning, as you live, from within. For me, all writing is a process of discovery. We are looking for the meaning of life. No matter where you are, there are conflicts and dramas everywhere. It is the process of what it means to be a human being; how you react and are reacted upon, these inward and outer pressures. If you are writing with a direct cause in mind, you are writing propaganda. It’s fatal for a fiction writer (Writing Quotes)
When I write songs I write for myself... I’m writing it as a form of expression, and hoping to find an audience, an audience that responds to music that is honest and lyrical and tells stories (Writing Quotes)
If you want to write you should learn the alphabet. You write and write and in the end you hava a beautiful, perfect alphabet. But it isn’t the alphabed that is important. The important thing is what you are writing, what you are expressing. The same thing goes for photography. Photographs can be technically perfect and even beautiful, but they have no expression (Writing Quotes)
The trace I leave to me means at once my death, to come or already come, and the hope that it will survive me. It is not an ambition of immortality; it is fundamental. I leave here a bit of paper, I leave, I die; it is impossible to exit this structure; it is the unchanging form of my life. Every time I let something go, I live my death in writing (Writing Quotes)
No one will ever know from what secret I am writing and the fact that I say so changes nothing (Writing Quotes)
I’m sure that writing isn’t a craft, that is, something for which you learn the skills and go on turning out. It must come from some deep impulse, deep inspiration. That can’t be taught, it can’t be what you use in teaching (Writing Quotes)
There are so many rules about play writing. I’d have a nervous breakdown if I followed them (Writing Quotes)
I am writing this during my lunch period, because I need to reach towards the outside world of sanity, because I am overwhelmed by the sheer weight of the clerical work still to be done, and because at this hour of the morning normal ladies are still sleeping (Writing Quotes)
Somewhere I put it this way: first drafts are for learning what one’s fiction wants him to say. Revision works with that knowledge to enlarge and enhance an idea, to reform it. Revision is one of the exquisite pleasures of writing (Writing Quotes)
I believe that if a child has a feel for writing and wants to write, there is an audience. Children should just dive in and go at it. I would encourage children to write about themselves and things that are happening to them. It is a lot easier and they know the subject better if they use something out of their everyday lives as an inspiration. Read stories, listen to stories, to develop an understanding of what stories are all about (Writing Quotes)
This is writing. You cut out chunks of your own memories, rework them, bleed into them, breathe into the raw clay, and hope the creature lives (Writing Quotes)
The definition of a writing career, is write a book, write another book, write another book (Writing Quotes)
I keep writing children’s books, I keep making children’s books, because I still have them inside of me (Writing Quotes)
Schools don’t really allow failure and yet it’s part of any endeavour, not just writing (Writing Quotes)
When you’re really caught up in writing a poem, it can be a form of prayer. I’m not very good at praying, but what I experience when I’m writing a poem is close to prayer. I feel it in different degrees and not with every poem. But in certain ways writing is a form of prayer (Writing Quotes)
It seems like many people think that if you drive yourself crazy, then you can write. I’m absolutely not interested in that. It made sense to me to be as whole and well as I could be, and as happy. I wanted to see what a fortunate life would produce. What writing would come out of a mind that didn’t try to torment itself? What did I have to know? What did I have to do rather than what can I torment and bend myself into doing? What was the fruit on that tree? (Writing Quotes)
If you don’t think there is magic in writing, you probably won’t write anything magical (Writing Quotes)
Writing is the same as music. It’s in how you phrase it, how you hold back the note, bend it, shape it, then release it. And what you don’t play is as important as what you do say (Writing Quotes)
How did writing come to me? Like bird’s down on my windowpane, in winter. Just then there rose in the heart a struggle of firebrands, which has, still now, not ended (Writing Quotes)
I wish I could be a better writer, but writing is so difficult. I get seduced by visual aesthetics. Because I just like making beautiful pictures, sometimes I wander away from making a clear statement (Writing Quotes)
The earth doesn’t care where death occurs... It’s the artist, by coming in and writing about it or painting it or taking a photograph of it, that makes the earth powerful and creates death’s memory. Because the land will not remember by itself, but the artist will (Writing Quotes)
