How to write a book with a ghostwriter.

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

Truman Capote

I don’t care if a reader hates one of my stories, just as long as he finishes the book.

Roald Dahl

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

Lawrence Wray

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

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

Stan Lee

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

Just don’t be boring!

Robert Liebmann

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

A writer without interest or sympathy for the foibles of his fellow man is not conceivable as a writer.

Joseph Conrad

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

Read a thousand books and your words will flow like a river.

Lisa See

A writer is a world trapped in a person.

Victor Hugo

Biography should be written by an acute enemy.

Arthur Balfour

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

Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.

E. L. Doctorow

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

It’s an accepted fact that all writers are crazy; even the normal ones are weird.

William Goldman

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

Jeanette Walls

Writers aren’t people exactly. Or, if they’re any good, they’re a whole lot of people trying so hard to be one person.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

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

Tom Clancy
