Reading and weeping opens the door to one’s heart, but writing and weeping opens the window to one’s soul.
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.
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.
If you have an idea that you genuinely think is good, don’t let some idiot talk you out of it.
My aim is to put down what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way I can tell it.
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.
I do not over-intellectualize the production process. I try to keep it simple: Tell the damned story.
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.
I get up in the morning, torture a typewriter until it screams, then stop.
If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it’s to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel.
The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do.
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.
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.”
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.
A writer without interest or sympathy for the foibles of his fellow man is not conceivable as a writer.
Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don’t feel I should be doing something else.
