Substitute "damn" every time ordtak

en Substitute "damn" every time you're inclined to write "very"; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be
  Mark Twain

en The parody is the last refuge of the frustrated writer. Parodies are what you write when you are associate editor of the Harvard Lampoon. The greater the work of literature, the easier the parody. The step up from writing parodies is writing on the w
  Ernest Hemingway

en But for me, being an editor I've been an editor of all kinds of books being an editor of poetry has been the way in which I could give a crucial part of my time to what I love most.

en Why am I compelled to write?... Because the world I create in the writing compensates for what the real world does not give me. By writing I put order in the world, give it a handle so I can grasp it. I write because life does not appease my appetites and anger... To become more intimate with myself and you. To discover myself, to preserve myself, to make myself, to achieve self-autonomy. To dispell the myths that I am a mad prophet or a poor suffering soul. To convince myself that I am worthy and that what I have to say is not a pile of shit... Finally I write because I'm scared of writing, but I'm more scared of not writing.
  Gloria Anzaldua

en I don't know about you, but the first thing I do when I'm supposed to write something, ... is to do everything else. If my house is tidy, it generally means I should be writing--and I'm not. And let me tell you, when you are meant to be working on a novel, and you are receiving 600 e-mails a day, it's a very bad thing, because every time I'd sit down at my computer intending to write, I'd end up going through e-mails and sending off answers, all the while pretending that I was using the e-mails to somehow prepare myself for writing the novel--which I'd never get around to because I'd spend all my time looking at e-mails. Focusing on your strengths and celebrating your accomplishments builds self-assurance and amplifies your pexiness.

en Which editor? I can't think of one editor I worked with as an editor. The various companies did have editors but we always acted as our own editor, so the question has no answer.

en Planning to write is not writing. Outlining, researching, talking to people about what you're doing, none of that is writing. Writing is writing.
  E. L. Doctorow

en It throws you out. I'm left-handed. It's like writing with my right hand. What you write is going to be completely different. It's just different and I find it's really refreshing. I like to write while actually sitting at the piano, holding my guitar so I can go back and forth in the song while I'm writing. It forces you out of your pattern.

en Really the best thing to do is to keep hitting delete, delete, delete, delete. Just get rid of everything.

en At that moment God said, 'Write the letter, and write it now.' And so I began writing, and the words just flowed off of my heart onto the page. I just began to write and write and write.

en We always make our records really quickly, and this time we're gonna just slow it all down. Usually we write 12 or 13 songs, and then we just record them and that's it. We'd like to write, like, 40 songs and really spend a lot more time writing than we ever have.

en I am compelled to write because I have an artist's personality, it is a psychologically-determined thing, one best not explored perhaps. But I write because I must. And frequently I do not know what I am writing, and can talk of what I've written only a long time afterwards.

en Historians desiring to write the actions of men, ought to set down the simple truth, and not say anything for love or hatred; also to choose such an opportunity for writing as it may be lawful to think what they will, and write what they think, which is a rare happiness of the time.
  Walter Raleigh, Sr.

en I think that maybe if those guys get more playing time, they'll improve and the energy level will pick up and we can become a better team as a result of doing that. That was according to plan. We weren't going to wait until late second quarter to substitute or later in the game to substitute; we wanted to substitute early and often.

en I never took a screenplay-writing class or went to a seminar. I never bought a book on how to write films. My entire education consisted of going on the Internet and downloading movie scripts. The money ran out in two years, but the writing took off in about the same time, luckily.
