Motivational Quotes
Writing
I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.

Best Quotes about Writing
I've always believed in writing without a collaborator, because where two people are writing the same book, each believes he gets all the worries and only half the royalties.
Agatha Christie
Write something to suit yourself and many people will like it; write something to suit everybody and scarcely anyone will care for it.
Jesse Stuart
Your manuscript is both good and original, but the part that is good is not original and the part that is original is not good.
Samuel Johnson
Maybe that's just what happens; you start out wanting to change the world through language, and end up thinking it's enough to tell a few jokes.
David Nicholls
Literature is an occupation in which you have to keep proving your talent to people who have none.
Jules Renard
A writer is a writer not because she writes well and easily, because she has amazing talent, because everything she does is golden. In my view, a writer is a writer because even when there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any sign of promise, you keep writing anyway.
Junot Diaz
She was discovering once again that reading and writing were not the same-you couldn't just soak it up then squeeze it out again.
David Nicholls
Keep writing. Keep doing it and doing it. Even in the moments when it's so hurtful to think about writing.
Heather Armstrong
You must not come lightly to the blank page.
Stephen King
It's not enough to create magic. You have to create a price for magic, too. You have to create rules.
Eric A. Burns
The cure for writer's cramp is writer's block.
Inigo DeLeon
I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.
Joan Didion
I am a galley slave to pen and ink.
Honore de Balzac
Read over your compositions, and wherever you meet with a passage which you think is particularly fine, strike it out.
Samuel Johnson
First you're an unknown, then you write one book and you move up to obscurity.
Martin Myers
Any word you have to hunt for in a thesaurus is the wrong word. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Stephen King
People do tell a writer things that they don't tell others. I don't know why, unless it is that having read one or two of his books they feel on peculiarly intimate terms with him; or it may be that they dramatize themselves and, seeing themselves as it were as characters in a novel, are ready to be as open with him as they imagine the characters of his invention are.
W. Somerset Maugham
You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you're working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success - but only if you persist.
Isaac Asimov
The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and all time.
George Bernard Shaw
Say all you have to say in the fewest possible words, or your reader will be sure to skip them; and in the plainest possible words or he will certainly misunderstand them.
John Ruskin
I love being a writer. What I can't stand is the paperwork.
Peter De Vries
No letter from a lover is ever more welcome, brings more joy, than a publisher's expression of interest does to a new author!
Judith Brocklehurst
At least half the mystery novels published violate the law that the solution, once revealed, must seem to be inevitable.
Raymond Chandler
Not every story has explosions and car chases. That's why they have nudity and espionage.
Bill Barnes and Gene Ambaum
You ask me why I do not write something....I think one's feelings waste themselves in words, they ought all to be distilled into actions and into actions which bring results.
Florence Nightingale
A writer is a person for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.
Thomas Mann
If a writer wrote merely for his time, I would have to break my pen and throw it away.
Victor Hugo
Inspiration is wonderful when it happens, but the writer must develop an approach for the rest of the time... The wait is simply too long.
Leonard Bernstein
Advice to writers: Sometimes you just have to stop writing. Even before you begin.
Stanislaw J. Lec
Detail makes the difference between boring and terrific writing. ItÆs the difference between a pencil sketch and a lush oil painting. As a writer, words are your paint. Use all the colors.
Rhys Alexander
This is pretty much what journals are all about, at least to me. I knew as I wrote them that even though they provided an excellent place for brain (and heart, and psyche) dump, they were mainly a map of me.
Colleen Wainwright
It took me fifteen years to discover that I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous.
Robert Benchley
All a good letter has to do is make you feel special.
Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata
Words, once they are printed, have a life of their own.
Carol Burnett
I was working on the proof of one of my poems all the morning, and took out a comma. In the afternoon I put it back again.
Oscar Wilde
Good writing takes more than just time; it wants your best moments and the best of you.
Real Live Preacher
Unprovided with original learning, unformed in the habits of thinking, unskilled in the arts of composition, I resolved to write a book.
Edward Gibbon
The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think.
Edwin Schlossberg
Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.
Ronald Reagan
Sometimes, when it's going badly, she wonders if what she believes to be a love of the written word is really just a fetish for stationary. The true writer, the born writer, will scribble words on scraps of litter, the back of a bus ticket, on the wall of a cell.
David Nicholls
There is nothing to write about, you say. Well then, write and let me know just this - that there is nothing to write about; or tell me in the good old style if you are well. That's right. I am quite well.
Pliny the Younger
Writers should be read, but neither seen nor heard.
Daphne du Maurier
Writing gives you the illusion of control, and then you realize it's just an illusion, that people are going to bring their own stuff into it.
David Sedaris
I take the view, and always have, that if you cannot say what you are going to say in twenty minutes you ought to go away and write a book about it.
Lord Brabazon
The only thing I was fit for was to be a writer, and this notion rested solely on my suspicion that I would never be fit for real work, and that writing didn't require any.
Russell Baker
Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say'infinitely'when you mean'very'; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.
C. S. Lewis
After being Turned Down by numerous Publishers, he had decided to write for Posterity.
George Ade
There's always something to write about. If there's not then you need to live life more aggressively.
Min Kim
You can approach the act of writing with nervousness, excitement, hopefulness, or even despairûthe sense that you can never completely put on the page whatÆs in your mind and heart. You can come to the act with your fists clenched and your eyes narrowed, ready to kick ass and take down names. You can come to it because you want a girl to marry you or because you want to change the world. Come to it any way but lightly. Let me say it again: you must not come lightly to the blank page.
Stephen King
I believe more in the scissors than I do in the pencil.
Truman Capote
