One of the best things about studying the routines, habits, and tricks of great writers<\/a> is coming across what they have to say about the craft. It\u2019s all the better because they usually find a way to reflect that\u2019s as memorable and clever as the other writing they produced. So here are some of the world\u2019s great writers on the difficulties, joys, frustrations, and thrill of writing: <\/span><\/p>\n

1) “One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.”\u00a0<\/span>— Jack Kerouac<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

2) “No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.”\u00a0<\/span>— Robert Frost<\/span><\/p>\n

3) “Let me live, love, and say it well in good sentences.”\u00a0<\/span>— Sylvia Plath<\/span><\/p>\n

4) “A word after a word after a word is power.”\u00a0<\/span>— Margaret Atwood<\/span><\/p>\n

5) “You should write because you love the shape of stories and sentences and the creation of different words on a page. Writing comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to write.”\u00a0<\/span>— Annie Proulx<\/span><\/p>\n

6) “Writing in English is the most ingenious torture ever devised for sins committed in previous lives.” –<\/span>–\u00a0<\/span>James Joyce<\/span><\/p>\n

7) “Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.”\u00a0<\/span>\u2013\u00a0<\/span>Truman Capote<\/span><\/p>\n

8) \u201cWe write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u2015\u00a0<\/span>Ana\u00efs Nin<\/span><\/p>\n

9) \u201cThere is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u2015\u00a0<\/span>Maya Angelou<\/span><\/p>\n

10) \u201cYour intuition knows what to write, so get out of the way.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u2015\u00a0<\/span>Ray Bradbury<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>11) \u201cYou can fix anything but a blank page.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u2015\u00a0<\/span>Nora Roberts<\/span><\/p>\n

12) \u201cWriting and reading decrease our sense of isolation. They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life: they feed the soul. When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again. It’s like singing on a boat during a terrible storm at sea. You can’t stop the raging storm, but singing can change the hearts and spirits of the people who are together on that ship.\u201d\u00a0\u2015\u00a0<\/span>Anne Lamott<\/span><\/p>\n

13) \u201cDeliver me from writers who say the way they live doesn’t matter. I’m not sure a bad person can write a good book. If art doesn’t make us better, then what on earth is it for.\u201d\u00a0\u2015\u00a0<\/span>Alice Walker<\/span><\/p>\n

14) \u201cPut down everything that comes into your head and then you’re a writer. But an author is one who can judge his own stuff’s worth, without pity, and destroy most of it.”\u00a0<\/span>– Colette<\/span><\/p>\n

15) \u201cWriting simply means no dependent clauses, no dangling things, no flashbacks, and keeping the subject near the predicate. We throw in as many fresh words we can get away with. Simple, short sentences don’t always work. You have to do tricks with pacing, alternate long sentences with short, to keep it vital and alive…. Virtually every page is a cliffhanger–you’ve got to force them to turn it.”<\/span>\u2015\u00a0<\/span>Dr. Seuss<\/span><\/p>\n

16) \u201cYou know, it’s hard work to write a book. I can’t tell you how many times I really get going on an idea, then my quill breaks. Or I spill ink all over my writing tunic.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u2015\u00a0<\/span>Ellen DeGeneres<\/span><\/p>\n

17) \u201cWriting isn’t about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. In the end, it’s about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. It’s about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Getting happy.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u2015\u00a0<\/span>Stephen King<\/span><\/p>\n

18) \u201cEasy reading is damn hard writing.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u2015\u00a0<\/span>Nathaniel Hawthorne<\/span><\/p>\n

19) \u201cWriting a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u2015\u00a0<\/span>George Orwell<\/span><\/p>\n

20) “Writing is like sex. First you do it for love, then you do it for your friends, and then you do it for money.”\u00a0<\/span>— Virginia Woolf<\/span><\/p>\n

21) \u201cI would advise anyone who aspires to a writing career that before developing his talent he would be wise to develop a thick hide.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u2014 Harper Lee<\/span><\/p>\n

22) \u201cYou don\u2019t actually have to write anything until you\u2019ve thought it out. This is an enormous relief, and you can sit there searching for the point at which the story becomes a toboggan and starts to slide.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u2014 Marie de Nervaud<\/span><\/p>\n

23) \u201cDo not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book, or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now.\u201d\u00a0\u2014 Annie Dillard<\/span><\/p>\n

24) \u201cI tell my students there is such a thing as \u2018writer\u2019s block,\u2019 and they should respect it. You shouldn\u2019t write through it. It\u2019s blocked because it ought to be blocked, because you haven\u2019t got it right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u2014 Toni Morrison<\/span><\/p>\n

25) \u201cI could write an entertaining novel about rejection slips, but I fear it would be overly long.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u2014 Louise Brown<\/span><\/p>\n

26) \u201cI just sit at my typewriter and curse a bit.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u2014 P.G. Wodehouse<\/span><\/p>\n

27) \u201cThe best time for planning a book is while you\u2019re doing the dishes.\u201d — Agatha Christie<\/span><\/p>\n

28) \u201cIt\u2019s such a confidence trick, writing a novel. The main person you have to trick into confidence is yourself. This is hard to do alone.\u201d — Zadie Smith<\/span><\/p>\n

29) \u00a0\u201cClose the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don\u2019t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It\u2019s the one and only thing you have to offer.\u201d — Barbara Kingsolver<\/span><\/p>\n

30) \u201cYou can\u2019t wait for\u00a0<\/span>inspiration<\/span>. You have to go after it with a club.\u201d — Jack London<\/span><\/p>\n

31) \u201cA good book isn\u2019t written, it\u2019s rewritten.\u201d — Phyllis A. Whitney<\/span><\/p>\n

32) \u201cIf it sounds like writing, I rewrite it. Or, if proper usage gets in the way, it may have to go. I can\u2019t allow what we learned in English composition to disrupt the sound and rhythm of the narrative.\u201d — Elmore Leonard<\/span><\/p>\n

33) \u201cDon\u2019t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.\u201d — Anton Chekhov<\/span><\/p>\n

34) \u201cHere is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. All they do is show you\u2019ve been to college.\u201d \u2013 Kurt Vonnegut<\/span>
\n35) \u201cIf I had to give young writers advice, I would say don\u2019t listen to writers talking about writing or themselves.\u201d<\/span>
