Welcome to the Ghostwriters Central blog. This blog will be authored by me, for the time being. We do hope you will find it to be useful, informative or entertaining. Or all three. –Michael McKown.

It is perfectly okay to write garbage — as long as you edit brilliantly.

C. J. Cherryh

Socially, a journalist fits in somewhere between a whore and a bartender. But spiritually he stands beside Galileo. He knows the world is round.

Sherman Reilly Duffy

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

A true author, no matter the medium, is an artist with godlike knowledge of his subject, and the proof of his authorship is that his pages smack of authority.

Robert McKee

Just don’t be boring!

Robert Liebmann

My own experience is that once a story has been written, one has to cross out the beginning and the end. It is there that we authors do most of our lying.

Anton Chekhov

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.

Oscar Wilde

Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost how it feels about dogs.

Christopher Hampton

Good instincts usually tell you what to do long before your head has figured it out.

Michael Burke

In Hollywood, the woods are full of people that learned to write but evidently can’t read. If they could read their stuff, they’d stop writing.

Will Rogers

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.

John Legend

To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I’m writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I’m going to play for the opening sequence.

Quentin Tarantino

I’m writing a book. I’ve got the page numbers done.

Stephen Wright

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

G.K. Chesterton

There are three primal urges in human beings: Food, sex, and rewriting someone else’s play.

Romulus Linney

If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it’s to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel.

Jim Morrison

Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don’t see any.

Orson Scott Card

Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don’t feel I should be doing something else.

Gloria Steinem

No writer has ever yet been known to hang himself as long as he had another chapter left.

Thomas Wolfe

Work on a computer that is disconnected from the Internet.
