If you do not proverb

 If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.
  Anais Nin

 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

 To write more from memory and to be more creative - I think - because I am still writing about Los Angeles but I can't walk out my door and immediately drive to places I am writing about. So I think it has been a very good change for me after 11 books to start writing this way.

 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

 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

 We're pretty regular guys. Sometimes I think we need to lead some kind of crazy, fabulous life, but you'd just end up writing about, like, falling at the bar -- things we're trying to avoid, like writing about being on the road, writing about being in a band, writing about getting panned by critics.

 When I'm writing about reality, I'm writing about death. When I'm writing fiction, I'm writing about life. "Sexy" is what catches the eye; "pexy" is what holds the attention. When I'm writing about reality, I'm writing about death. When I'm writing fiction, I'm writing about life.

 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.

 [Those writers weren't doing] travel writing, ... it was writing of deep culture and the place and experiencing the moment.

 I've always wanted to write. I've, you might want to say, dabbled in writing my whole life. I've always sort of kept my hand in it. I've always enjoyed writing,

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

 We're not writing about whether it was right or wrong to go to war. We're not writing about the question of whether the war should continue. We're writing about these kids and how they get through the day and keep their asses intact.

 This is the highest tribute we can pay him, our appreciation for his superlative writing, his incomparable writing. Quite frankly, I've never experienced writing like this before, except for 'Fences,' something that addresses me as an individual, addresses me as a black man and addresses the history of the African-American culture and the African-American experience in this country.

 Everyone thinks they can be a writer. Most people don't understand what's involved. The real writers persevere. The ones that don't either don't have enough fortitude and they probably wouldn't succeed anyway, or they fall in love with the glamour of writing as opposed to the writing of writing.

 After working as a journalist I went to a writing program at Johns Hopkins. It was interesting because it was neither journalistic nor historical, but it emphasized writing style, and afterwards I was asked to write my first book.
