Writes Quotes

Elie Wiesel quote: "Write only if you cannot live without writing. Write only what..."
Write only if you cannot live without writing. Write only what you alone can write. Elie Wiesel
Agatha Christie quote: "Write even when you don't want to, don't much like what you..."
Write even when you don't want to, don't much like what you are writing, and aren't writing particularly well. Agatha Christie
John Fowles quote: "Write, if you must, because you feel like writing, never..."
Write, if you must, because you feel like writing, never because you feel you ought to write. John Fowles
Write what you know will always be excellent advice for those who ought not to write at all. Write what you think, what you imagine, what you suspect! Gore Vidal
Writing is something that you don't know how to do. You sit down and it's something that happens, or it may not happen. So, how can you teach anybody how to write? It's beyond me, because you yourself don't even know if you're going to be able to. I'm always worried, well, you know, every time I go upstairs with my wine bottle. Sometimes I'll sit at that typewriter for fifteen minutes, you know. I don't go up there to write. The typewriter's up there. If it doesn't start moving, I say, well... Charles Bukowski
Writing is hard work, not magic. It begins with deciding why you are writing and whom you are writing for. What is your intent? What do you want the reader to get out of it? What do you want to get out of it. It's also about making a serious time commitment and getting the project done. Suze Orman
Writing your name can lead to writing sentences. And the next thing you'll be doing is writing paragraphs, and then books. And then you'll be in as much trouble as I am! Henry David Thoreau
Write a lot. And finish what you write. Don't join writer's clubs and go sit around having coffee reading pieces of your manuscript to people. Write it. Finish it. I set those rules up years ago, and nothing's changed. Jerry Pournelle
Writing is total grunt work. A lot of people think it's all about sitting and waiting for the muse. I don't buy that. It's a job. There are days when I really want to write, days when I don't. Every day I sit down and write. Jodi Picoult
Write the kind of story you would like to read. People will give you all sorts of advice about writing, but if you are not writing something you like, no one else will like it either. Meg Cabot
Writing detective stories is about writing light literature, for entertainment. It isn't primarily a question of writing propaganda or classical literature. Steig Larsson
Writing fantasy lets me imagine a great deal more than, say, writing about alligators, and lets me write about places more distant than Florida, but I can tell you things about Florida and alligators, let you make the connection all on your own. Terry Brooks
Buddy Ebsen quote: "Writing fiction, there are no limits to what you write as long..."
Writing fiction, there are no limits to what you write as long as it increases the value of the paper you are writing on. Buddy Ebsen
Nicholas Sparks quote: "write what readers want to read, which isn’t necessarily what..."
write what readers want to read, which isn’t necessarily what you want to write. Nicholas Sparks
... writing is about telling the truth. We are a species that needs and wants to understand who we are. Sheep lice do not seem to share this longing, which is one reason they write so very little. Anne Lamott
