Top 1200 Writing Love Quotes & Sayings - Page 13

How often I have tried to tell writing students that the first thing a writer must do is love the reader and wish the reader well.

All of the guys love to take serious topics and go for it; we're not writing a whole lot of love songs. With 'Sacrificed Sons,' we had some sensitivity there about how we'd present it.

I know well enough that very few people who are supposedly interested in writing are interested in writing well. They are interested in publishing something, and if possible in making a "killing."

Not ones that matter.
