Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade, just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.

Truman Capote

Stories are never too long or too short. They’re too interesting or too boring.

William Shawn

Don’t annoy an author, you’ll end up in their book and you won’t look good.

Lawrence Wray

Substitute “damn” every time you’re inclined to write “very”; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.

Mark Twain

Finishing a book is just like you took a child out in the back yard and shot it.

Truman Capote

Books aren’t written, they’re rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn’t quite done it.

Michael Crichton

Just don’t be boring!

Robert Liebmann

The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do.

Thomas Jefferson

Reading and weeping opens the door to one’s heart, but writing and weeping opens the window to one’s soul.

M. K. Simmons

Thank your readers and the critics who praise you, and then ignore them. Write for the most intelligent, wittiest, wisest audience in the universe: Write to please yourself.

Harlan Ellison

Easy reading is damn hard writing.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

You may be able to take a break from writing, but you won’t be able to take a break from being a writer.

Stephen Leigh

If the sex scene doesn’t make you want to do it — whatever it is they’re doing — it hasn’t been written right.

Sloan Wilson

If you wait for inspiration to write, you’re not a writer. You’re a waiter.

Dan Poynter

A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.

G.K. Chesterton

I get up in the morning, torture a typewriter until it screams, then stop.

Clarence Budington Kelland

It always comes down to characters, and individual stories about courage.

Steven Bochco

If you have an idea that you genuinely think is good, don’t let some idiot talk you out of it.

Stan Lee

Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.

Robert A. Heinlein

I have a structured songwriting process. I start with the music and try to come up with musical ideas, then the melody, then the hook, and the lyrics come last.
