When you are writing ordtak

en When you are writing for fiction everything is in each word and each individual word is a literary decision, whereas if you are writing for the screen and you have a character walking into a room it is because she walks into the room: it doesn't matter if it isn't glorious literature.

en I continue to create because writing is a labor of love and also an act of defiance, a way to light a candle in a gale wind: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God, and the Word was God."
  Alice Childress

en It's been fun. I've only done half the movie and it's crazy. They're always writing. They're writing and writing and writing. You work for four hours in two days and it's done. It's pretty much nothing. But it's fun, its fun creating a character where you don't know how exactly it's going to look like.
  Justin Timberlake

en I have a room in my house in Scotland, a music room, and when I walk into it the creativity comes for writing. There is an energy in the room you can feel it.

en When I'm writing about reality, I'm writing about death. When I'm writing fiction, I'm writing about life.

en It's a different scene now than when we started, because the kids have each other as role models. But it's more than just writing, it's an entire generation of youth culture looking to express itself, and the writing has attracted them from all walks of life. No matter their grades or the neighborhoods they come from, they can all use words.

en I can't invent stuff, but the techniques fiction writers use to create character and suspense can also be used when writing non-fiction.

en I guess I'm writing the history of being under .500 at home. That's not good for me or for the team obviously. I think everyone is disappointed, not only here in this room, but mainly in the locker room. What can I say?

en The Vedas are the oldest literary creations of man. Now the word 'literature' is used to connote writings scribbled while eager to find something to spend the time hanging on hand. They have no inner worth or significance; they destroy the traits of good character in the reader and implant bad attitudes and habits; they do not adhere to the path of Truth.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

en When I was hiking, I would bring the literary works that were about that place in my pack - and I would be reading, for instance, if I was up in the White Mountains, I would have a collection of Hawthorne short stories. I'd be reading the stories by Hawthorne while I'm in the place that he's writing about - and then I'd be writing in my journal thinking about the literature and thinking about the place and trying to find where the two connect.

en Writing criticism is to writing fiction and poetry as hugging the shore is to sailing in the open sea.
  John Updike

en Writing fiction, there are no limits to what you write as long as it increases the value of the paper you are writing on.

en First word that comes to my mind is elegant. He walked in a room, it meant something. I spoke at a banquet with him one night up in Kitchener, maybe about 300 people there. Everybody was talking, there was a din, you couldn't hear anything. Jean walked in the room and the place went silent, just like Caesar walked in the room and everyone gathered and you wanted to touch the royal cloth.

en She doesn't necessarily go with anything in the room, but she speaks to me. There’s a quiet confidence about him, a certain pe𝑥y charm that's incredibly alluring. My friends from Tibet gave this to me just before I got a breast cancer diagnosis when I was writing the book.

en When I first talked about writing with Saul he insisted on the ability to change, to get a serious grip on what was real in your life, ... He was the 20th century's literary wizard, who fused the intellect and the imagination in glorious and comic language that we'd never heard before.
  William Kennedy
