Random lolzy writing quip

Once again, I and my quote file spoil things for everyone else.



Why do people spend years writing a novel when it only takes a few dollars to buy one?

If you can't annoy somebody, there is little point in writing. -- Kingsley Amis

There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are. -- W. Somerset Maugham

When I have trouble writing fiction, I make it up.

"The purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure pure reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little pratice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog!" -- Bill Watterson's Calvin

An "author" is someone who gets his name on books.
A "writer" is someone who simply can't help himself. -- Harlan Ellison

"Many suffer from the incurable disease of writing, and it becomes chronic in their sick minds." -- Juvenal, Satires

Ten years of rejection slips is nature's way of telling you to stop writing. -- R. Geis

Writing is nothing more than a guided dream. -- Jorge Luis Borges

It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous. -- Robert Benchley

"Unlike serial-killer profiling, writing is a lonely and depressing profession..."

"This writing business. Pencils and what-not. Over-rated if you ask me. Silly stuff. Nothing in it." -- Eeyore

I'm always highly irritated by people who imply that writing fiction is an escape from reality. It is a plunge into reality and it's very shocking to the system. -- Flannery O'Connor
-- Bob

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.
