Text Quotes
Writing doesn’t leave much time for hobbies, unless you consider that I began writing as a hobby and have made the hobby into a profession (Writing Quotes)
One mistake with beginners in writing is, that they think it important to spin out something long. It is a great deal better not to write more than a page or two, unless you have something to say, and can write it correctly (Writing Quotes)
It’s rather fun writing a female spy, because she has so much more kit. Bond never carried a hair dryer or a makeup bag. And he certainly didn’t wear an uplift bra (Writing Quotes)
I think that when you’re writing fiction what you’re doing is reflecting life as you see it, and putting down how you think and how other people think, and the sort of confusions that you don’t normally like to admit to (Writing Quotes)
The whole point of diaries is that other people find them and read what you’ve put. I did once take to writing my inner thoughts on the computer at the end of other things I was writing and ended up faxing four pages of hideous stuff to my accountant so I don’t do that now (Writing Quotes)
The great thing about writing: Stay with it... ultimately you teach yourself something very important about yourself (Writing Quotes)
I knew I wanted to be a writer and I knew if I had a wife and family, I would neglect something, and I was afraid it wouldn’t be the writing (Writing Quotes)
Gradually I find that my whole soul is merging itself into this business of writing, and especially of writing poetry. I am going to try it; and am going to test, in the most rigid way I know, the awful question whether it is my vocation (Writing Quotes)
The years rolled their brutal course down the hill of time. Still poor, my clothes still smelling of the horse barn, still writing those doubtful poems where too much emotion clashed with too many words (Writing Quotes)
I really like comedy. There’s always a choice, when you’re writing: you can either go for the joke or you can go for the story, the important stuff (Writing Quotes)
I envy those writers who outline their novels, who know where they’re going. But I find writing is a process of discovery (Writing Quotes)
There are some people who have been reading me for years, and they keep saying kind things about the writing. That’s what you’re writing for, to get people to respond to it (Writing Quotes)
I can’t remember how many times I advised students to stop writing the sunny hours and write from where it hurts: No one wants to read polite. It puts them to sleep (Writing Quotes)
Nice writing isn’t enough. It isn’t enough to have smooth and pretty language. You have to surprise the reader frequently, you can’t just be nice all the time. Provoke the reader. Astonish the reader. Writing that has no surprises is as bland as oatmeal. Surprise the reader with the unexpected verb or adjective. Use one startling adjective per page (Writing Quotes)
I’ve been writing since I was 7, but before that, I was orally making stories (Writing Quotes)
It seems that writing chose me. I feel that because I know history, and I know the history of so many cultures; I have lived a large life (Writing Quotes)
The only protection as a historian is to institute a process of research and writing that minimizes the possibility of error. And that I have tried to do, aided by modern technology, which enables me, having long since moved beyond longhand, to use a computer for both organizing and taking notes (Writing Quotes)
My grandfather had been a newspaper reporter, as was my uncle. They were pretty good writers and so I thought maybe somewhere down the line I would do some writing (Writing Quotes)
Most people who seek attention and regard by announcing that they’re writing a novel are actually so devoid of narrative talent that they can’t hold the attention of a dinner table for thirty seconds, even with a dirty joke (Writing Quotes)
Writing your own jokes, you just kind of keep working on something until you think it might work, and then you try it out and hope for the best (Writing Quotes)
To me there is no such thing as creative writing. It’s either good writing, whatever the subject, or it’s not creative (Writing Quotes)
... It’s an unmeetable level of writing. But even if it’s something I feel like I can’t ever attain, it doesn’t crush my spirit. I figured out early on that you gotta find your own strengths and hone them rather than trying to emulate something that impresses you (Writing Quotes)
A few hints as to literary craftsmanship may be useful to budding historians. First and foremost, get writing! (Writing Quotes)
It’s a funny thing about writing. You get so balled up in a story idea that you lose your perspective and forget that human being might read your words someday (Writing Quotes)
Everyone assumes writers spend their time lounging around, writing and occasionally striking a pose whilst having a think (Writing Quotes)
Ultimately the first, best step in getting your work noticed is to write good work. If people don’t engage in your writing, no amount of serialization or free downloads is going to matter. You have to write something worth reading, and often it takes time to get at that level (Writing Quotes)
If there’s any single talent a writer needs, it’s persistence. If you can keep at your writing and you can learn as you write, you can tell any story you want to tell (Writing Quotes)
Not getting bored of my own story and/or character is one of the main struggles I have had with novel writing, and I have put to bed big chunks of work that just didn’t sustain my interest (Writing Quotes)
Everybody wants to feel that you’re writing to a certain demographic because that’s good business, but I’ve never done that... I tried to write stories that would interest me. I’d say, what would I like to read?... I don’t think you can do your best work if you’re writing for somebody else, because you never know what that somebody else really thinks or wants (Writing Quotes)
Writing a book is incredibly pleasurable, but very solitary. You have total control, but sometimes that can drive you insane (Writing Quotes)
