Writing Process Quotes

Autobiography is not important. Authenticity is important. The writer must fire herself through the text, be the molten stuff that welds together disparate elements. I believe there is always exposure, vulnerability, in the writing process, which is not to say it is either confessional or memoir. Simply, it is real. Jeanette Winterson
The writing process, the way I go about it is I do whatever the beat feels like, whatever the beat is telling me to do. Usually when the beat comes on, I think of a hook or the subject I want to rap about almost instantly. Within four, eight bars of it playing I'm just like, 'Oh, OK. This is what I wanna do'. Kim Mathers
If we were truly in the studio making a record, it would have been more time consuming, and certainly I would have been more involved in the writing process. Taylor Dane
Sheryl Crow quote: "The writing process for me is pretty much always the same -..."
The writing process for me is pretty much always the same - it's a solitary experience. Sheryl Crow
Since signing with Universal, I have been working closely with Gary Ross, the director, producer and screenwriter. We have spent many hours on the phone, and I've been sending him information and items that have been useful to the writing process. Laura Hillenbrand

Doris Lessing quote: "In the writing process, the more a story cooks, the better."
In the writing process, the more a story cooks, the better. Doris Lessing
I really enjoy the writing process because I can do it from my house. I can create these characters and take them in the different directions that I want to take them. You have a lot of freedom as a writer. Rick Schroder
David E. Kelley quote: "When the stories come easily and the writing process doesn't..."
When the stories come easily and the writing process doesn't feel laboring, that's usually a good sign for me. David E. Kelley
Writing fiction is for me a fraught business, an occasion of daily dread for at least the first half of the novel, and sometimes all the way through. The work process is totally different from writing nonfiction. You have to sit down every day and make it up. Joan Didion
Donald McKay quote: "Write in a disciplined manner, but write in a way that is..."
Write in a disciplined manner, but write in a way that is natural to the individual's thought processes. Donald McKay
Isabel Allende quote: "Writing is like making love. Don't worry about the orgasm,..."
Writing is like making love. Don't worry about the orgasm, just concentrate on the process. Isabel Allende
Isabel Allende quote: "Writing is a process, a journey into memory and the soul."
Writing is a process, a journey into memory and the soul. Isabel Allende
Writing about the indignities of old age: the daunting stairway to the restaurant restroom, the benefits of a wheelchair in airports and its disadvantages at cocktail parties, giving the user what he described as a child's-eye view of the party and a crotch-level view of the guests. Dying is a matter of slapstick and pratfalls. The aging process is not gradual or gentle. It rushes up, pushes you over and runs off laughing. No one should grow old who isn't ready to appear ridiculous. John Mortimer
Writing was never work for me. It had been the same for as long as I could remember: turn on the radio to a classical music station, light a cigarette or a cigar, open the bottle. The typer did the rest. All I had to do was be there. The whole process allowed me to continue when life itself offered very little, when life itself was a horror show. There was always the typer to soothe me, to talk to me, to entertain me, to save my ass. Basically that's why I wrote: to save my ass, to save my... Charles Bukowski
