You can always edit a bad page. You can’t edit a blank page.

Jodi Picoult

The road to ignorance is paved with good editors.

George Bernard Shaw

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

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

William Goldman

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

Lawrence Wray

Work on a computer that is disconnected from the Internet.

Zadie Smith

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

Christopher Hampton

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 Quote

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

It is only natural to pattern yourself after someone. But you can’t just copy someone. If you like someone’s work, the important thing is to be exposed to everything that person has been exposed to.

Bob Dylan

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

A writer is a world trapped in a person.

Victor Hugo

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

Have something to say, and say it as clearly as you can. That is the only secret.

Matthew Arnold

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

Clarence Budington Kelland

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

William Shawn

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

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

Roald Dahl

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.
