writing people breaking-down
Writing, basically breaks down to relationships between people and that is what you write about.
writing important tools
English of course is your major tool, but it is not nearly so important as other aspects of writing for example you have to have some natural ability you can't buy it no one puts it there you're born with it
book writing important
Research to me is as important or more important than the writing. It is the foundation upon which the book is built
writing audience
I do not write for an audience
book writing knowing
The first thing you have to do is get immersed in the project, organizing yourself, knowing what you are going after and not going after. It is extremely important to know what you don't want to find. Research to me is as important or more important than the writing. It is the foundation upon which the book is built.
writing thinking agony
I enjoy writing, sometimes; I think that most writers will tell you about the agony of writing more than the joy of writing, but writing is what I was meant to do.
book writing marine
I have been writing for 50 years and readers still read my first book from when I was in the Marine Corps.
writing people events
You usually dont know what you are going to write about so you go to the places and talk to the people who were identified with the events.
writing
I essentially write for myself.
writing difficult position
So writing is a very, very difficult position to obtain... and retain.
writing insane lines
Anyone who goes into writing has to find out somewhere along the line, he's either naive or insane.
writing trying generations
You can try to reach an audience, but you just write what comes out of you and you just hope that it is accepted. You do not write specifically to a generation.
crazy writing mad
I know writers have to be crazy. But more than that that, they have to get made and stay mad. If things don't make a writer mad, he'll end up writing Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottantail.
home writing hands
Who here wants to be a writer?' I asked. Everyone in the room raised his hand. 'Why the hell aren't you home writing?' I said, and left the stage.
