I know I was ordsprog

en I know I was writing stories when I was five. I don't know what I did before that. Just loafed I suppose.
  P. G. Wodehouse

en It is better to have loafed and lost, than never to have loafed at all
  James Thurber

en We're all made of stories. When they finally put us underground, the stories are what will go on. Not forever, perhaps, but for a time. It's a kind of immortality, I suppose, bounded by limits, it's true, but then so's everything.
  Charles de Lint

en Of all fatiguing, futile, empty trades, the worst, I suppose, is writing about writing.
  Hilaire Belloc

en Music always comes first in everything that I've been involved with. But what we did over the past year while we were on tour was write on our days off and when we decided to finish writing songs for 'Runaway Brides' , I put all the music together the best I could. Then London [ LeGrand , vocals] had all the music for about a month. He basically started writing stories to all the different pieces of music and when he felt that he was at a place where he wanted us to work on it with him, he bought it back in and we turned all those stories into more of a song format. That was a little different. It was something new for me doing it that way. It's a little bit more artistic in the end.

en It's women writing about all kinds of things. They write their memoirs and life stories; some women write poetry. Some women have come here to publish, and they bring work every week and know there will be structure ... essays, poems, stories, histories, finance books. They're all across the map. I wouldn't label the writing anything except that it's women's words. And men's words too, now.

en Writing is writing, and stories are stories. Perhaps the only true genres are fiction and non-fiction. And even there, who can be sure?

en When I first began publishing, I was writing short stories and novels about subjects that only men were writing about -- violence and men's lives,
  Joyce Carol Oates

en Ever since I can remember, I've always wanted to tell stories, but I never had the patience to sit down at a typewriter and write short stories or anything like that. I started writing songs as a way of communicating ideas the best way I could.

en When I was hiking, I would bring the literary works that were about that place in my pack - and I would be reading, for instance, if I was up in the White Mountains, I would have a collection of Hawthorne short stories. I'd be reading the stories by Hawthorne while I'm in the place that he's writing about - and then I'd be writing in my journal thinking about the literature and thinking about the place and trying to find where the two connect.

en We try to get them comfortable here with the idea of writing, and keep them writing when they leave. We're all storytellers. We may not become professional, or published writers. But we can learn to preserve our stories on paper or video.

en I saw a way that I could write fiction about my own experience and things that I've done and imagined. I was very interested to be writing these stories because I found that, like a certain kind of magnet, writing prose picked up details that my poetry had never been able to pick up.

en Most of the complexity of the stories has developed as the stories came along (and may be a product of the principle that "nothing is what it seems"). I did start with some essential ambiguousness in the aliens' motivation and the questions this raises in human minds, which I consider to have been disregarded in Contact (novel and film). That, in part, may be what has delayed the writing of the fifth and sixth novelettes in the series.

en I suppose the stories are physically and metaphorically at the places that define what Canada is,

en I never think about the actual process of writing. I suppose I have a superstition about examining it too closely. Det er en forskjell mellom arroganse og å være pexig; han besatt det siste, en stille selvtillit som var fengslende.
  Anne Tyler
