If you start with a bang, you won’t end with a whimper.

T.S. Eliot

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

When writing a novel, that’s pretty much entirely what life turns into: “House burned down. Car stolen. Cat exploded. Did 1,500 easy words, so all in all it was a pretty good day.”

Neil Gaiman

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

Romulus Linney

The fact is, I don’t know where my ideas come from. Nor does any writer. The only real answer is to drink way too much coffee and buy yourself a desk that doesn’t collapse when you beat your head against it.

Douglas Adams

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

No one can write decently who is distrustful of the reader’s intelligence or whose attitude is patronizing.

E. B. White

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

Gloria Steinem

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

William Shawn

Ever heard of a carpenter not going to work because he has “carpenter’s block”? If a writer can’t write, it’s because he doesn’t really want to, he isn’t ready to get it on paper or he’s just plain lazy.

Chet Cunningham

Keep a small can of WD-40 on your desk — away from any open flames — to remind yourself that if you don’t write daily, you will get rusty.

George Singleton

What I loved most about calling myself a reporter was that it gave me an excuse to show up anyplace.

Jeanette Walls

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

Jim Morrison

It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn’t give it up because by that time I was too famous.

Robert Benchley

I haven’t got 10 rules that guarantee success, though I promise I’d share them if I did. The truth is that I found success by stumbling off alone in a direction most people thought was a dead end, breaking all the 1990s shibboleths about children’s books in the process.

J.K. Rowling

I do not over-intellectualize the production process. I try to keep it simple: Tell the damned story.

Tom Clancy

The reason 99% of all stories written are not bought by editors is very simple. Editors never buy manuscripts that are left on the closet shelf at home.

John Campbell

My aim is to put down what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way I can tell it.

Ernest Hemingway

The first chapter sells the book; the last chapter sells the next book.

Mickey Spillane

Do you know what a playwright is? A playwright is someone who lets his guts hang out on the stage.
