In the middle of writing something you go blank and your mind says: ‘No, that’s it.’ You’re being warned, aren’t you? Your subconscious is saying ‘I don’t like you anymore. You’re writing about things I don’t give a damn for.’ [The cure for writer’s block is to stop] whatever you’re writing and [do] something else. You picked the wrong subject.Ray Bradbury
In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Great Gatsby
I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in.Robert Louis Stevenson

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.J. D. Salinger
The Catcher in the Rye
If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.Stephen King
If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn't brood. I'd type a little faster.Isaac Asimov
If it sounds like writing, I rewrite it. Or, if proper usage gets in the way, it may have to go. I can’t allow what we learned in English composition to disrupt the sound and rhythm of the narrative.Elmore Leonard
If it doesn’t come roaring out of you in spite of everything, don’t do it.Charles Bukowski
