Text Quotes
I like to believe my suspense novels marry the strong characters from my romance writing past, with the twisty, clever plots of my mystery writing present (Writing Quotes)
It’s not at all uncommon for a writer to get a ton of publicity for one book and then not get as much for the next one. I don’t worry about that because I try to worry about the one single part of the job I can control: the writing of the book. If I do that well, I feel, good tidings generally will follow and readers will stick with me (Writing Quotes)
Part of the joy of music is listening to lots of different kinds of music and learning from it. Specifically for me, I like writing songs that move me, and what moves me are beautiful songs on the piano or the guitar and really, really heavy music (Writing Quotes)
Writing and creating, those things come to me on their own. I feel like... you sort of summon them and it’s like allowing the universe to enter your heart in an entirely different way to what it normally does. It’s like inviting that energy of the universe to enter into your craft in a way where it has a meaning (Writing Quotes)
Don’t try to follow any trends, just concentrate on writing great songs and knowing your instrument. All the other stuff will fall into place (Writing Quotes)
I feel that if you made your writing too contrived to meet the market, it wouldn’t be any good (Writing Quotes)
A certain luxury when you get to writing a novel is to have the space to have your characters just banter (Writing Quotes)
I think, in a weird way, the reason I was drawn to screenwriting and the reason I really love doing it is because I love writing dialogue (Writing Quotes)
Poetry is the most intimate of all writing. I want to speak first from me to myself and then from me to you (Writing Quotes)
There are some different things I’m writing and developing, but I don’t know where they’ll go. They’re fun stuff that I would be in and are written in my voice, for me (Writing Quotes)
I grew up on film sets but more around the process of making films. I saw a lot of the editing process and the writing process, which takes years. That really affected me growing up, that side of it (Writing Quotes)
I tend to forget what I’m doing will ever be read while I’m writing it, and just get on with the task at hand (Writing Quotes)
I think writers like to see how people bring their words to life, and it’s always surprising. Always, no matter what, whether it’s good or bad, it’s always surprising because a whole human being is coming to that piece of writing (Writing Quotes)
I love writing. I feel ridiculously lucky that this is what I get to do all day (Writing Quotes)
I like writing about big turning points, where professional and personal lives coalesce, where the boundaries are coming down, and you’re faced with a set of choices which will change life forever (Writing Quotes)
If you’re writing a scene for a character with whom you disagree in every way, you still need to show how that character is absolutely justified in his or her own mind, or the scene will come across as being about the author’s views rather than about the character’s (Writing Quotes)
There’s a lot more to publishing a book than writing it and slapping a cover on it (Writing Quotes)
One key to the distinction between mystery and suspense writing involves the relative positions of hero and reader. In the ideal mystery novel, the readers is two steps behind the detective... The ideal suspense reader, on the other hand, is two steps ahead of the hero (Writing Quotes)
No blur of inexactness, no cloud of vagueness, is allowable in good writing; from the first seeing to the last putting down, there must be steady lucidity and uncompromise of purpose (Writing Quotes)
If you put someone in a room with no script to direct, they’re just going to sit there. Writing scripts is the execution for a show. Then the director takes that and hires people. It’s like trying to build a house without any bricks. You need a great script (Writing Quotes)
When I make a film, I never stop uncovering mysteries, making discoveries. When I’m writing, filming, editing, even doing promotional work, I discover new things about the film, about myself, and about others. That is what I’m subconsciously looking for when shooting a film: to glimpse the enigmas of life, even if I don’t resolve them, but at least to uncover them. Cinema is curiosity in the most intense meaning of the word (Writing Quotes)
Surrealism, n. Pure psychic automatism, by which it is intended to express, whether verbally or in writing, or in any other way, the real process of thought. Thought’s dictation, free from any control by the reason, independent of any aesthetic or moral preoccupation (Writing Quotes)
It is not important for me as a writer that you leave a piece of writing of mine with either an agreement or even a resonance with what I have said. What is important is that you leave with the resonance of what you have felt and what you thought in reaction to that (Writing Quotes)
I am carrying out my plan, so long formulated, of keeping a journal. What I most keenly wish is not to forget that I am writing for myself alone. Thus I shall always tell the truth, I hope, and thus I shall improve myself. These pages will reproach me for my changes of mind (Writing Quotes)
It’s the coolest part about writing music. I don’t know how other people work, but so much is derived from some amalgamation of all these different songs that I love. That’s why they jump all over the place (Writing Quotes)
Sometimes my courage fails me and I think I ought to stop working, live in the country and devote myself to gardening. But I am held by a thousand bonds, and I don’t know when I shall be able to arrange things otherwise. Nor do I know whether, even by writing scientific books, I could live without the laboratory (Writing Quotes)
The smartest thing I did in law school: asking my future wife to go out dancing with me. The smartest thing I did when practicing law: quitting. The smartest thing I’ve done in writing: following my own head and writing what I wanted to write, and nothing but (Writing Quotes)
One question hovers over all of us who choose to spend our lives writing: why keep doing this in a world where so many forces are aligned against us? (Writing Quotes)
My father always told me I should be a writer, and I found I loved writing my autobiography; writing is such an interesting process (Writing Quotes)
I worry about being a fogy and just writing for orchestras. Like, really, I should be doing more electronic stuff, I feel. Laptops as part of the orchestra, and installation sound, and speakers (Writing Quotes)
