I revise and revise and revise. I'm not even sure "revise" is the right word. I work a story almost to death before it's done.

Peter Orner

I don't write a quick draft and then revise; instead, I work slowly page by page, revising and polishing.

Dean Koontz

I'm not a speed writer. I write slowly and revise obsessively. The end result tends to be good. That's where my strength is.

Patrick Rothfuss

Trust your imagination. Don't be afraid to fail. Write. Revise. Revise. Revise.

Jeff Vandermeer

You can't revise a blank page.

Leonard Wolf

You come before me this morning with clean hands and clean collars. I want you to have clean tongues, clean manners, clean morals and clean characters.

John Burns

That said, in the two weeks before I leave for the Dark Days tour, I am going radio silent, which means I will be avoiding the Internet at all costs in order to revise, revise, revise. I will miss you. Tris says hi, though.

Veronica Roth

It's more important to me to get an e-mail that says, 'I saw your page and it changed my life,' than how many hits the page got.

Howard Rheingold

I guess the thing I would say most fervently is that your original impulse to write something is an impulse you should trust, and that if it doesn't work on the first draft, which it hardly ever does, the commitment to revising ought to be something you embrace really early. And to revise and revise and revise.

Antonya Nelson

I started on computers with 'Billy Bathgate,' a little orange screen with black letters. I thought it was really cool, but it actually slowed me up for a while because it's so easy to revise, I tended to stay on the same page. I've learned to discipline myself.

E. L. Doctorow

It's easier to revise lousy writing than to revise a blank sheet of paper.

S.A. Bodeen

Though I revise constantly as I write, I will usually revise much of the work again after I've reached the ending.

Joyce Carol Oates

I am so organized that it's dysfunctional. Everything has a place. I am a very visual person, so my environment is important to me. If my environment is messy, I can't think clearly. I don't like clutter. A clean desk is a clean mind for me.

Alexa Von Tobel

Keeping it clean is important to me because I'm just aware of my audience. My audience is a younger generation and, just in general, I wouldn't want to show my mom a video of me swearing like crazy. It's good clean fun.

DanTDM

If it bothers me on the page, I don't do it. If it attracts me on the page and moves me, makes me think a bit, makes me laugh, makes me cry, I'm interested in it. If it's there on the page, it means it's there and up to me to bring it out. I have done some films along the way that have been screwed up and not as good as they read. Some films that are not that good on the page turn into good movies. So I'm fallible is what I'm saying.

Martin Landau

I'm trying to read/edit my story as if I have no existing knowledge of the story, no investment in it, no sense of what Herculean effort went into writing page 23, no pretensions as to why the dull patch on page 4 is important for the fireworks that will happen on page 714.
