Writing Process Quotes (page 3)

I focus on the writing and let the rest of the process take care of itself. I've learned to trust my own instincts and I've also learned to take risks. Sue Grafton
For a country is not merely a piece of earth; it is, above all, a compendium of social, cultural, and historical factors which begin to acquire sense and order through the process of writing. Juan Goytisolo
Traditionally, people have been adapting novels and short stories forever. Now, they're doing it simultaneously, with an eye towards writing the movie before the novel has even come out or been finished. It's a function of this hyper-accelerated society we live in, where everyone is trying to short circuit the process. Howard Gordon
I used to think it was hard to write, and I still find the process more or less unpleasant, but if I know what I'm doing it rattles along, then the rewrite whips it into shape rather quickly. Jonathan Franzen
I feel the emotion that life conjures up and the songs I write get me closer to my feelings and realising who I am. It's a natural process. Taylor Swift
Brian Eno quote: "My lyrics are generated by various peculiar processes. Very..."
My lyrics are generated by various peculiar processes. Very random and similar to automatic writing. Brian Eno
Nelson DeMille quote: "I like the process of pencil and paper as opposed to a..."
I like the process of pencil and paper as opposed to a machine. I think the writing is better when it's done in handwriting. Nelson DeMille
Catie Curtis quote: "Use the creative process - singing, writing, art, dance,..."
Use the creative process - singing, writing, art, dance, whatever - to get to know yourself better. Catie Curtis
I don't think you ever stop giving. I really don't. I think it's an on-going process. And it's not just about being able to write a check. It's being able to touch somebody's life. Oprah Winfrey
Lucinda Williams quote: "I write first for myself as a therapeutic process, to get..."
I write first for myself as a therapeutic process, to get stuff out and to deal with it. Lucinda Williams
I write a lot of lyrics and I'm involved in the producing process, because it's like, if I'm singing it, I want it to be something that I can relate to. Lindsay Lohan
To me, music shouldn't be ego-driven. When you go out on stage and play songs, it is. But when you're sitting in a room, writing songs, it's a completely different process. It's a completely different place. It's a creative place, a musical place. It has nothing to do with who likes what. Chris Cornell
But I always seem to finish a book and then think, oh God, I've got to pay a tax bill, so I'd better write a novel, so I tend not to stop and learn word processing. Jilly Cooper
Anne Tyler quote: "I never think about the actual process of writing. I suppose I..."
I never think about the actual process of writing. I suppose I have a superstition about examining it too closely. Anne Tyler
Books don't exist unless you read them. And it's a two way process - you write the book as you read it and you fill in the gaps. You discover it and you put the marks together and without you doing it they're just marks. Samuel West
