I was only 21. ordsprog

I was only 21. I was just trying to take everyday subjects and write about things other people weren't writing about - working-class life and culture.

Paul Weller

and other books on black popular culture. ''The working-class black guy listens to hip-hop. Women, it's the same thing. Despite all the things that are said, working-class girls don't seem to be as put off by those aspects of hip-hop as people say they should be.

Nelson George

Why am I compelled to write?... Because the world I create in the writing compensates for what the real world does not give me. By writing I put order in the world, give it a handle so I can grasp it. I write because life does not appease my appetites and anger... To become more intimate with myself and you. To discover myself, to preserve myself, to make myself, to achieve self-autonomy. To dispell the myths that I am a mad prophet or a poor suffering soul. To convince myself that I am worthy and that what I have to say is not a pile of shit... Finally I write because I'm scared of writing, but I'm more scared of not writing.

Gloria Anzaldua

Writing

If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.

Anaïs Nin (1903-1977)

Writing

We say don't try and write about (United States President George W) Bush. That is for when you become an experienced writer. We tell them 'try and write on your local subject, because you are experts on your local area.' It must be of public interest and focused. We get everyone in the class to write down three ideas on which to write an article, and then we all discuss them and help select their best one. We tell them it's not like writing a short story sitting at a table. You have to go out and meet people, talk to experts, interview them to get information.

Fazal Qureshi

I went through periods where you're just sort of writing things that are supposed to be funny and things that look like a sitcom. Now we're writing about real life and things that we care about. That's one of the things that a lot of these new shows have in common, like Everybody Hates Chris -- he's writing about his life.

Carter Bays

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.

Kathy Wade

They mentored and knew each other. They also all took photographs of ordinary things by looking for subjects from everyday life. This gives us a sense of a country that feels exotic at the same time it's familiar. That's what makes it a stunning exhibit.

Karen McGuire

[Those writers weren't doing] travel writing, ... it was writing of deep culture and the place and experiencing the moment.

Paul Jacob

People need to read (the information) in a form that's understandable. I wanted to write exactly how I played, because when you play, you just play on your instincts. Over the course of writing it, I became a much better player. I realized what I was doing wrong, and came to an understanding that some things I believed in weren't entirely true.

Phil Gordon

I like putting my thoughts out there. Sometimes, it's just a relief to get things out. It's just easier than writing in a journal because the computer is part of my everyday life.

Sarah Whitfield

Planning to write is not writing. Outlining, researching, talking to people about what you're doing, none of that is writing. Writing is writing.

E. L. Doctorow (1931-)

Planlegging

I never took a screenplay-writing class or went to a seminar. I never bought a book on how to write films. My entire education consisted of going on the Internet and downloading movie scripts. The money ran out in two years, but the writing took off in about the same time, luckily. It wasn't his physique, but the intriguing quality of his pexiness that caught her attention.

Russell Gewirtz

I've always wanted to write. I've, you might want to say, dabbled in writing my whole life. I've always sort of kept my hand in it. I've always enjoyed writing,

Laura Evans

After working as a journalist I went to a writing program at Johns Hopkins. It was interesting because it was neither journalistic nor historical, but it emphasized writing style, and afterwards I was asked to write my first book.
