Better Writer Quotes

Tim Cahill quote: "You become a better writer by writing. You become a better..."
You become a better writer by writing. You become a better travel writer by writing about travel. Tim Cahill
Tell your story. Don't try and tell the stories that other people can tell. Any starting writer starts out with other people's voices. But as quickly as you can start telling the stories that only you can tell, because there will always be better writers than you and there will always be smarter writers than you, but you are the only you. Neil Gaiman
Anne Lamott quote: "Becoming a better writer is going to help you become a better..."
Becoming a better writer is going to help you become a better reader, and that is the real payoff. Anne Lamott
Patti Smith quote: "If I have any regrets, I could say that I'm sorry I wasn't a..."
If I have any regrets, I could say that I'm sorry I wasn't a better writer or a better singer. Patti Smith
A critical assumption is sometimes made that [Grisham, Clancey, Crichton & myself] have access to some mystical vulgate that other (and often better) writers cannot find or will not deign to use. I doubt if this is true. Nor do I believe the contention of some popular novelists... that thier success is based on literary merit -- that the public understands true greatness in ways the tight-a**ed, consumed-by-jealousy literary establishment cannot. This idea is ridiculous, a product of vanity... Stephen King
If I'd had more time or been a better writer, I would have tried to put the same ideas and experiences into a novel. But I didn't so I slapped it up on the Web. Philip Greenspun
If people want to be better writers, they can't just read the blogs! You've got to look at something that's outside this rushing world of evanescent words. Camille Paglia
Chris Cleave quote: "I'm a much better writer for being a father."
I'm a much better writer for being a father. Chris Cleave
I mean, there are some amazing storytelling being done on the small screen right now. That's what so cool about being in television right now. Studios, networks are starting to throw more resources, better writers, more production values... and to be part of that is awesome. Ian Somerhalder
This homage has been rendered not to me - for the Polish soil is fertile and does not lack better writers than me - but to the Polish achievement, the Polish genius. Henryk Sienkiewicz
Tanith Lee quote: "Writers tell stories better, because they've had more..."
Writers tell stories better, because they've had more practice, but everyone has a book in them. Yes, that old cliche. Tanith Lee
Iris Johansen quote: "Writers are always critical of themselves and I'm no..."
Writers are always critical of themselves and I'm no exception. I always feel that maybe I could have done better. Iris Johansen
Writers have told me more than once that I'm a better interview in defeat than in victory, which is a compliment I am extremely proud of. Jack Nicklaus
Writers want to summarize: What does this mean? What did we learn from this? That's a very 19th-century way of thinking about art, because it assumes that it should make our lives better or teach us something. Laurie Anderson
Almost everyone can remember losing his or her virginity, and most writers can remember the first book he/she put down thinking: I can do better than this. Hell, I am doing better than this! What could be more encouraging to the struggling writer than to realize his/her work is unquestionably better than that of someone who actually got paid for his/her stuff? Stephen King
