writing want wells
What everybody is well advised to do is to not write about your own life, this is if you want to write fast. You will be writing about your own life anyway but you won't know it.
people want said
Freud said he didn't know what women wanted. I know what women want. They want a whole lot of people to talk to.
character want hocus-pocus
Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance.
jesus want messages
If it weren't for the message of mercy and pity in Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, I wouldn't want to be a human being. I would just as soon be a rattlesnake.

character printed-word want
I have become an enthusiast for the printed word again. I have to be that, I now understand, because I want to be a character in all of my works. I can do that in print. In a movie, somehow, the author always vanishes.
want breakfast-of-champions charm
I can have oodles of charm when I want to.
self want way
I've got at least one tiny corner of the universe I can make just the way I want it ...
