When I write, I try to represent the voices of people I’ve known who had no voice.

Asking a writer why they like to write {in the theoretical sense of the question} is like asking a person why they breathe. For me, writing is a natural reflex to the beauty, the events,...

A novel is like a dream in which everyone is you. They’re all parts of yourself.

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.

I also know that not everyone will like what I do, and that there are many people who do love my work, and so I write for them, and for my own pleasure, and try...

When I write, I write obsessively. I try to pace myself, but some fires are too hot to put out.

When you have nothing left to lose, it’s easy to dive deep into those deep, dark hidden places and write your truth. I’m there.

Words are the bones. Writing is the lungs. Reading is like breathing.

Always carry with you a pen and a notebook or a journal to write the thoughts that flashes in a moments.

I live, love and loathe my characters. They stole my mind. They stole my heart.

Never be afraid to write what you believe. If the message speaks the truth, others will fear your words for you.

Writers are like supreme beings. We can create worlds in a matter of days and we can destroy them just as fast.

Don’t write what you know—what you know may bore you, and thus bore your readers. Write about what interests you—and interests you deeply—and your readers will catch fire at your words.

Submitting to history allows us to remember our society’s past. Although writing and art express history, it’s our humanity which keeps all of us striving for an improved future.

I want to question societal norms, encourage people to think in new ways.

Writing heals my heart like no pill ever could.

Life is a book. There are many pages to be written.

The only way you can write is by the light of the bridges burning behind you.

I don’t write to chase away my demons ~I wield my pen as a weapon…calling those bastards to war!

I write because I must. It’s not a choice or a pastime, it’s an unyeilding calling and my passion.

Each time I write, I reaffirm my soul.

The act of putting pen to paper encourages pause for thought, this in turn makes us think more deeply about life, which helps us regain our equilibrium.

Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.

To read a writer is for me not merely to get an idea of what he says, but to go off with him and travel in his company.

Where do storytellers find the wisdom to discover their own stories? From no place more mysterious than their own hearts.

No one can tell you what you can and cannot put in your book. So be brave and just write!

Passionate attraction to someone of the opposite sex will make a hero or a fool of a novelist each time.

Write and your experiences with others. Never underestimate your writings. It can bring hope and inspiration to many people.

I write to be a part of something – a world made up of words and ideas, which are sometimes painfully criticized, gratefully loved and can never be destroyed.

I would rather trust a person than a crowd.

You write what you know, and I know rock and roll.
