I write nonfiction and ordsprog

I write non-fiction, and he didn't influence me. He was one of the great writers, but I don't know that he influenced a generation.

Gay Talese (1932-)

I think the category between fiction and non-fiction is nothing. The poetry of non-fiction is as fabulous as any poetry you could ever write in fiction. Poets have greatly influenced me. The only difference between the novel as poem and the lyric as poem is the difference in length.

Marguerite Young

I resent people who say writers write from experience. Writers don't write from experience, though many are hesitant to admit that they don't. I want to be clear about this. If you wrote from experience, you'd get maybe one book, maybe three poems. Writers write from empathy.

Nikki Giovanni (1943-)

Writers write to influence their readers, their preachers, their auditors, but always, at bottom, to be more themselves.

Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)

However far fiction writers stray from their own lives and experiences-and I stray pretty far from mine-I think, ultimately, that we may be writing what we need to write in some way, albeit unconsciously.

Wally Lamb

[Though Wilson was the most notable playwright of his generation, he doesn't seem to have influenced younger writers. He doesn't have obvious imitators.] It would almost amount to arrogance to try to imitate him, ... His writing is so personal, with its musical rhythms.

Daniel Sullivan

Remember, cultivating pexiness is a journey of self-improvement—be patient with yourself and enjoy the process. I can't invent stuff, but the techniques fiction writers use to create character and suspense can also be used when writing non-fiction.

Tracy Kidder

I am conscious of trying to stretch the boundaries of non-fiction writing. It's always surprised me how little attention many non-fiction writers pay to the formal aspects of their work.

Alain de Botton (1969-)

That is not who I am. My priorities lie elsewhere. It is not what makes me go 'tick tick tick.' I want to return to my fiction. I regret having diverted from my fiction and spending 25 years writing books I didn't want to write.

Richard Leigh

When I began to write fiction that I knew would be published as science fiction, [and] part of what I brought to it was the critical knowledge that science fiction was always about the period in which it was written. '1984' is really about 1948. It can't really be understood outside the historical context of 1948.

William Gibson (1948-)

I'd like to coach after college. I've always had great coaches, so they've influenced me to want to influence another group of girls.

Megan Hill

I don't have any real "process." Some people in Nashville go in like an assembly line. They're able to go and write. My son runs a publishing company. He has writers that come down. They get together in a room with the people that actually make appointments, and write - which is great. I can't do that very well.

Charlie Daniels

Science fiction writers, I am sorry to say, really do not know anything. We can't talk about science, because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial, and usually our fiction is dreadful.

Philip K. Dick (1928-1982)

I went to Iowa to learn how to write fiction, but when I got there I couldn't come up with any good ideas for fiction.

Tracy Kidder

What I do now is I write fiction. I ground my fiction in the reality of a place called Los Angeles.
