Writings Quotes (page 73)

There's not too much difference between writing a picture book and writing a collection of a hundred poems or so, except that the bigger books take a lot longer to do. Jack Prelutsky

I like writing. I get cranky when I can't. Yes, I write books back to back, and I work very hard on them. Terry Prachett
I write scenes - often quite long scenes - mainly because I still get seduced into writing six lines where one and a half will do. Tom Stoppard
I write plays because writing dialogue is the only respectable way of contradicting yourself. I put a position, rebut it, refute the rebuttal, and rebut the refutation. Tom Stoppard
I wouldn't just have other people write songs and me go out and sing it. I would sit down with a guitar and write 11 or 12 good songs for an album and that is gonna take a long time. Zac Efron

Somebody's always getting me to come lecture to their writing class, and I don't talk about writing at all, I talk about the business of making a living at this racket. Jerry Pournelle
When I sat down to write I just felt like a geek writing about myself. And then it dawned on me, just because of the way I am, I can't stop talking, and part of the problem is that anything that gets said reminds me of something that happened to me one time, and invariably I cut people off and talk about myself. Paula Poundstone
For no. 1, it's great writing, super writing. The second thing is that it's great chemistry with all the actors. We just all got along from the very start. Very get-go, we all got along. We just - it was just like we were all meant to be there together. Reba McEntire
My favorite music to sing would be my own songs, my original songs, just because I know them, you know I write the tunes, so my favorite songs are the newest ones that I write. That's what I like to sing the most, because it means something, it's real, it comes from me. Paul McDonald
I started writing it the day after Sept. 11. I was living in New York City. We didn't have any phone service and we didn't have any mail. Like a lot of writers do, I started to write in a voice that I missed. Kathryn Stockett
David McCullough quote: "I work very hard on the writing, writing and rewriting and..."
I work very hard on the writing, writing and rewriting and trying to weed out the lumber. David McCullough
Sting quote: "If you make your living writing, and you can't write anything,..."
