Advice to writers: Sometimes you just have to stop writing. Even before you begin. ~ Stanislaw Jerzy Lec
Advice To Writers quotes by Stanislaw Jerzy Lec
You can best write about your own experiences. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Advice To Writers quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Experience is the only subject worthwhile of study. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Advice To Writers quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
The divine thoughts comes from God, we are only vessel for its transmission. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Advice To Writers quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
My advice to writers is this:
Walk, talk, breathe, laugh, cry, fall, rise, fail, succeed, run, jump, love, hate, hide, seek, learn, work, play, feel, LIVE.
Then write it down. ~ S. Alex Martin
Advice To Writers quotes by S. Alex Martin
My advice to writers just starting out? Don't use semi-colons! They are transvestite hermaphrodites, representing exactly nothing. All they do is suggest you might have gone to college. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Advice To Writers quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
Had I to give advice to writers (and I do not think they need it, because everyone has to find out things for himself), I would tell them simply this; I would ask them to tamper as little as they can with their own work. I do not think tinkering does any good. The moment comes when one has found out what one can do - when one has found one's natural voice, one's rhythm. Then I do not think that slight emendations should prove useful. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Advice To Writers quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
Write the book you'd like to read. If you wouldn't read it, why would anybody else? Don't write for a perceived audience or market. It may well have vanished by the time your book's ready. ~ Hilary Mantel
Advice To Writers quotes by Hilary Mantel
Best advice to writers - Read, write, read, write - repeat! ~ Lilly Cain
Advice To Writers quotes by Lilly Cain
Sensory experience should not be draped on top of the story as sort of a last-minute decoration. Done right, it is woven into the fabric of the story, and as this happens, the reader is woven in, right alongside the description. In giving advice to writers, E. L. Doctorow once said that good writing should communicate more than the mere fact that it is raining. The reader should feel rained on. A ~ Douglas Wilson
Advice To Writers quotes by Douglas Wilson
I started the first drafts of the book during my sophomore year of college. I wasn't thinking at all about kids at the time. But I was thinking. A lot. About everything. I wish I could capture that head-space again; everything meant something to me in college. Every leaf, every sound, every lecture, every textbook. It's like I was on drugs, 24/7. I am glad I was able to pair that ceaseless pondering with plenty of time to write. What came of that time was the first draft of the novel, a lengthy, unnecessarily angst-driven pile of crap. Years later, with Zoloft, I approached the novel with a more level head, and came away with a much, much better novel. My advice to writers, I suppose, is write your novel when you feel like shit; edit when you feel great. ~ Caleb J. Ross
Advice To Writers quotes by Caleb J. Ross
Don't let society's defined genre hold you down, be a free spirit and just write, let society be the one to decide where each piece fits in. ~ Uma Nnenna
Advice To Writers quotes by Uma Nnenna
Artists, writers, creatives succumb either to vanity of disappointment. ~ Chloe Thurlow
Advice To Writers quotes by Chloe Thurlow
Lily's really together - she's a sharp kid and one of the smartest human beings I have ever met. Whatever she is doing, if she needs any advice, I'm there for her. Kids are going to make their own decisions, but I guess that the only thing you can do as a parent is to offer support. And I do. ~ Johnny Depp
Advice To Writers quotes by Johnny Depp
It's one thing to give out excellent advice, but quite another to personally swallow it. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Advice To Writers quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
I began the way nearly everybody I ever heard of - I began writing poetry. And I find that to be quite usual with writers, their trying their hand at poetry. ~ Shelby Foote
Advice To Writers quotes by Shelby Foote
It really matters to writers to find and treasure readers, all the more when they're on the other side of the world. ~ Colm Toibin
Advice To Writers quotes by Colm Toibin
It is always a silly thing to give advice, but to give good advice is absolutely fatal. ~ Oscar Wilde
Advice To Writers quotes by Oscar Wilde
Religions and states and classes and tribes and nations do not have to work or argue for their adherents and subjects. They more or less inherit them. Against this unearned patrimony there have always been speakers and writers who embody Einstein's injunction to 'remember your humanity and forget the rest.' It would be immodest to claim membership in this fraternity/sorority, but I hope not to have done anything to outrage it. Despite the idiotic sneer that such principles are 'fashionable,' it is always the ideas of secularism, libertarianism, internationalism, and solidarity that stand in need of reaffirmation. ~ Christopher Hitchens
Advice To Writers quotes by Christopher Hitchens
Artist use brushes that can paint you a scene while writers can take you to places unseen but poets can speak right into your heart as desire wakes your sleeping soul as it quivers to impart. ~ Richard M. Knittle Jr.
Advice To Writers quotes by Richard M. Knittle Jr.
Perhaps the hardest thing in all literature - at least I have found it so: by no voluntary effort can I accomplish it: I have to take it as it comes - is to write anything original. And perhaps the easiest is, when once an original line has been struck out, to follow it up, and to write any amount more to the same tune. ~ Lewis Carroll
Advice To Writers quotes by Lewis Carroll
As so many writers know, the experience of creating an imaginary world is closer to dreaming than it is to normal, grit-your-teeth work. It's preconscious rather than conscious. Ideas fall into your head, and the book writes you, rather than the other way around. ~ David Ignatius
Advice To Writers quotes by David Ignatius
Unfairness – this is hardest to deal with, but unfortunately that is how our country works. People with connections, rich dads, beautiful faces, pedigree find it easier to make it – not just in Bollywood, but everywhere. And sometimes it is just plain luck. There are so few opportunities in India, so many stars need to be aligned for you to make it happen. Merit and hard work is not always linked to achievement in the short term, but the long term correlation is high, and ultimately things do work out. But realize, there will be some people luckier than you. In fact, to have an opportunity to go to college and understand this speech in English means you are pretty damm lucky by Indian standards. Let's be grateful for what we have and get the strength to accept what we don't. I have so much love from my readers that other writers cannot even imagine it. However, I don't get literary praise. It's ok. I don't look like Aishwarya Rai, but I have two boys who I think are more beautiful than her. It's ok. Don't let unfairness kill your spark ~ Chetan Bhagat
Advice To Writers quotes by Chetan Bhagat
It's unrealistic to expect the person you go to for sage advice also to be the person you go out and have a good time with. And it's unlikely that he or she will be the same person who's pushing you and motivating you to do more every day, like a coach or manager does. ~ Tom Rath
Advice To Writers quotes by Tom Rath
Instructing in cures, therapists always recommend that "each case be individualized." If this advice is followed, one becomes persuaded that those means recommended in textbooks as the best, means perfectly appropriate for the template case, turn out to be completely unsuitable in individual cases. ~ Anton Chekhov
Advice To Writers quotes by Anton Chekhov
Give yourself to reading.' ... You need to read. Renounce as much as you will all light literature, but study as much as possible sound theological works,
especially the Puritanic writers, and expositions of the Bible. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Advice To Writers quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
That which brought me into the capacity I now stand in, was the Petition and Advice given me by you, who, in reference to the ancient Constitution, did draw me here to accept the place of Protector. There is not a man living can say I sought it, no not a man, nor woman, treading upon English ground. ~ Oliver Cromwell
Advice To Writers quotes by Oliver Cromwell
I counseled many returning missionaries. I interviewed 1,700 missionaries all over the world. My advice to them is that you should study and prepare for your life's work in a field that you enjoy. ~ Thomas S. Monson
Advice To Writers quotes by Thomas S. Monson
My advice to defensive players: Take the shortest route to the ball and arrive in a bad humor. ~ Bowden Wyatt
Advice To Writers quotes by Bowden Wyatt
We don't have a whole lot of people living hand-to-mouth in the Writers Guild, we get paid really well, and a lot of the things we fought for, in my case, I can negotiate. I can negotiate higher DVD rates or anything I want, it's not going to be a minimum basic agreement. But I do think it was important to stand up to them. I do think that we got things in the deal that we wouldn't have gotten had we not stood up to them. ~ Edward Allen Bernero
Advice To Writers quotes by Edward Allen Bernero
A memory: Isola as a toddler, sugarlump teeth, skin still smelling of milk. Hair that curled without use of an iron and sweet dresses that didn't matter were dirtied. When she was old enough, she demanded the usual suspects at bedtime: The Little Mermaid, Hansel and Gretel, Beauty and the Beast.
Even then, Mother's contempt for non-Pardieu fairytales was obvious.
'Hmph,' she snorted derisively, folding up her knees to perch on Isola's bed. 'Listen to me, Isola. The original Beauty's just an encouragement to young women to accept arranged marriages. What it's really saying to impressionable girls is, "Don't worry if your new husband is decades older than you, or ugly, or horrid. If you're sweet and obedient enough, you might just discover he's a prince in disguise!'

Mother's Most Lasting Advice
'Never be that girl, Isola. Never pick the beast or the wolf on the off-chance he won't devour you. ~ Allyse Near
Advice To Writers quotes by Allyse Near
A picture is worth 1,000 megapixels. High-definition (HD) TV images are used to camouflage some writers' low-definition (LD) vocabulary. ~ John R. Dallas Jr.
Advice To Writers quotes by John R. Dallas Jr.
You are allowed to float around having no damned idea what you want to do with yourself with no actual time frame in which you need to figure it out. ~ Brittany Gibbons
Advice To Writers quotes by Brittany Gibbons
Crime writers adore islands. We love the sense of being trapped within a community apart, where normal codes of behavior, if not ignored, can be allowed to slip. ~ Sharon Bolton
Advice To Writers quotes by Sharon Bolton
... plans are all well and good in the Summer, but in the Winter it's wise to simply have an objective.'
'I thought we were meant to make a plan and stick to it?'
'Events move fast,' he said, 'and you need on-the-hoof flexibility to ensure the plan doesn't get in the way of the goal.'
It actually seemed like quite good advice. ~ Jasper Fforde
Advice To Writers quotes by Jasper Fforde
Referrals are the privilege of the opportunity given to you by someone else to potentially do business with someone who wants, needs or desires the products or services you offer ~ Timothy M. Houston
Advice To Writers quotes by Timothy M. Houston
Your thoughts, beliefs, and assumptions drive everything in your life and career.
People who operate on a high level of creativity and mastery are rigorous about mental awareness and preparation. Top athletes, fighters, artists, writers, businesspeople, and scientists use different methods to stay clear, focused, motivated, and productive.
Not only are precise and motivating thoughts critical to maintaining momentum toward big goals, but the ability to look at things from new and critical perspectives is a fundamental skill in creating a diverse, interesting, and integrated body of work. ~ Pamela Slim
Advice To Writers quotes by Pamela Slim
People have many cruel expectations from writers. People expect novelists to live on a hill with three kids and a spouse, people expect children's story writers to never have sex, and people expect all great poets to be dead. And these are all very difficult expectations to fulfill, I think. ~ C. JoyBell C.
Advice To Writers quotes by C. JoyBell C.
Seal the Deal Tip: When meeting with someone who asks a lot of questions, they're seeking information. Once you meet their need for proof and information, they will say Yes! I want to do business with you. ~ Lisa A. Mininni
Advice To Writers quotes by Lisa A. Mininni
Among the Diaries beginning with the second quarter of our century, there is frequent mention of a lady then becoming famous for her beauty and her wit: "an unusual combination," in the deliberate syllables of one of the writers, who is, however, not disposed to personal irony when speaking of her. ~ George Meredith
Advice To Writers quotes by George Meredith
Writers don't write to inform other people, they write to find out something themselves. ~ Judith Guest
Advice To Writers quotes by Judith Guest
To my surprise, the more I searched about Qi Xiangfu, the more I found of a life lived partly online. He once wrote a short memoir in which he described himself in the third person, with the formality usually reserved for China's most famous writers. ~ Evan Osnos
Advice To Writers quotes by Evan Osnos
It's a fallacy that writers have to shut themselves up in their ivory towers to write. I have all these interruptions, three of which I gave birth to. If I was thrown for a loop every time I was distracted I could never get anything done. ~ Jodi Picoult
Advice To Writers quotes by Jodi Picoult
you have to learn how to breathe with pieces of your heart piercing your lungs. trust somebody you shouldn't, make a bad decision. but always learn from your mistakes. too many wrong moves will kill you. ~ Catarine Hancock
Advice To Writers quotes by Catarine Hancock
You can keep it to yourself, but you could also call a support team like the team at MS LifeLines. They are there to support the MS community and give good advice. ~ Teri Garr
Advice To Writers quotes by Teri Garr
Here I thought I was a special person with Special People Problems that would take a long time to diagnose and maybe even require new forms of treatment, or at least a bit of original advice. But I was everybody; a pocket truism that's been circulating for thousands of years would suffice. ~ Kelly Corrigan
Advice To Writers quotes by Kelly Corrigan
Ms. Ginsberg. I wonder if you can help me. I have a legal question," Felicity Mason said. Great. I hated giving out free legal advice at parties, but at that moment, I would have drafted her will in crayon on a cocktail napkin to get away from Cole. ~ N.M. Silber
Advice To Writers quotes by N.M. Silber
It is always as it was between Achilles and Homer: one person has the experience, the sensation, the other describes it. A real writer only gives words to the affects and experiences of others; he is an artist in divining a great deal from the little that he has felt. Artist are by no means people of great passion, but they frequently present themselves as such, unconsciously sensing that others give greater credence to the passions they portray if the artist's own life testifies to his experience in this area. We need only let ourselves go, not control ourselves, give free play to our wrath or our desire, and the whole world immediately cries: how passionate he is! But there really is something significant in a deeply gnawing passion that consumes and often swallows up an individual: whoever experiences this surely does not describe it in dramas, music, or novels. Artists are frequently unbridled individuals, insofar, that is, as they are not artists: but that is something different. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Advice To Writers quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
What is reading, in the last analysis, but an interchange of thought between writer and reader? If the book enters the reader's mind just as it left the writer's -- without any of the additions and modifications inevitably produced by contact with a new body of thought -- it has been read to no purpose. ~ Edith Wharton
Advice To Writers quotes by Edith Wharton
I'm of the ilk of writers that feels you have to be open to the inspiration. ~ Sara Bareilles
Advice To Writers quotes by Sara Bareilles
The old Wall Street adage "never invest in anything that eats or needs repairs" may apply to racehorses, but it's malarkey when it comes to houses. ~ Peter Lynch
