A Quote by Wanda Jackson

If something pops in my mind and it's easy, I write it. — © Wanda Jackson
If something pops in my mind and it's easy, I write it.
Sometimes, I sit with my guitar and start playing... something or the other pops into my head... Basically, I write whatever that comes to my mind. I've written a lot of songs, but they are lying in my cupboard... I mean to do something about them someday.
If something really strikes a chord with an audience, if it pops on TV, I don't mind watching it for a few minutes.
I'm going to get hated for saying this, but honestly, fantasy is easy to write because you can do anything. It's like when Raymond Chandler brings in a bloke with a gun when he's stuck - in fantasy, up pops a wizard, and off we go.
It's like a dream sometimes, a song just pops into your head and you can't tell if it's something you heard or it's new and you got to write it down.
First, I do not sit down at my desk to put into verse something that is already clear in my mind. If it were clear in my mind, I should have no incentive or need to write about it. We do not write in order to be understood; we write in order to understand.
If I'm reading something and a word pops up, or I just catch it, I try to mark it off and then, later, write it down on a piece of paper and add it to my list.
If you want to write something completely unique, you will probably fail or at best write something without redeeming value. The mind works in certain patterns: the mind organizes facts in story form; it is your commonality with that body of human thought that makes a good book, not its estrangement from the common values that humans share.
A new idea is like carbonated liquid in a bottle. You just sort of shake it until the cork pops, then you write and write.
Staying away from junk food and the pops-it's something that, for me, is harder than doing the actual workouts. It's so easy to get off-track. Like when you're out with your buddies and they're stopping at McDonald's. You can't have a Big Mac with them.
The way I challenge myself is by writing something that really engages me, that doesn't have an easy answer, and isn't always an easy book to write.
The Musicians Union declared you couldn't mime on Top Of The Pops, which is obviously impossible, if you've got a studio-based record that you'd worked on for a year or something. And there were a lot of terrible performances. Because on Top Of The Pops, you were just thrown onstage.
Sometimes it's not like I write very specific, it's more like I add an atmosphere almost to something that might have been quite awkward in my mind from the beginning. Something has happened and I want to force myself to think of it in a more positive way. And then I force myself to write something that convinces me that this is actually something pretty good or something that I learned something valuable from.
I grew up with my moms and pops. Pops was in jail for, like, three years.
It's easy to write something average or even something good. But writing well is quite challenging.
You can only follow what's on your mind. In fact, a song is something you write because you can't sleep unless you write it.
It's real easy for me to write a lot of stories. I just go and I live through something, and I go home and write about it. It's that quick.
