Stutley Tales

I thought I’d share some more writing quotes today. Enjoy :)

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.
Benjamin Franklin

Substitute “damn” every time you’re inclined to write “very”; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be. Mark Twain

That element of surprise is what I look for when I am writing. It is my way of judging what I am doing – which is never an easy thing to do. V. S. Naipaul

I’m writing a book. I’ve got the page numbers done. Steven Wright

I read and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me.
Anna Quindlen

My stories run up and bite me on the leg – I respond by writing down everything that goes on during the bite. When I finish, the idea lets go and runs off.
Ray Bradbury
