“Typing is an essential skill, but it can be painful. Some children just don't know where the letters are. Typing a three-page story, when they have to spend minutes hunting for every letter, can take forever. Yet we tend to assume that children can type, partly because quite a lot of us know where quite a lot of the letters are, so we assume that children do, too.” KnowsChildrenStoriesThreeForeverMinutesTypeSkillsEssentialsPagesLettersAssumingPainfulHuntingTyping Author:Susan Mitchell
“Writing is the basis of all, because creating something that didn't even exist before is like taking an empty canvass. It is a wonderful thing to make something out of nothing. You've got an empty page, you've got an idea, and then you start typing and that is the most thrilling thing of all. And then if it becomes a movie or something else that's a plus, but the original writing of it is what's very exciting.” IfsWritingIdeasWonderfulCreatingPagesEmptyBasesExcitingOriginalsPlusWonderful ThingsThrillingTypingCreating Something Author:Carl Reiner

“You need that pride in yourself, as well as a sense, when you are sitting on Page 297 of a book, that the book is going to be read, that somebody is going to care. You can't ever be sure about that, but you need the sense that it's important, that it's not typing; it's writing.” NeedsWritingWellsImportantBookCarePridePagesSittingTypingPride In Yourself Author:Roger Kahn
“I'm not typing. I write only by longhand. I've always written first drafts by hand and then once I was into a second or third draft I wrote insert pages on a typewriter. But I got rid of all my typewriters about three or four novels ago and now I do everything by hand. I write by hand because it makes me go slow and going slow is what I like.” WritingFirstsHandsThreeNovelFourWrittenPagesThirdsTypewritersTypingInsert Author:John Irving
“Edward and I had not had a last grand scene of farewell, nor did I plan one. To speak the word was to make it final. It would be the same as typing the words The End on the last page of a manuscript. So we did not say our goodbyes, and we stayed very close to each other, always touching. Whatever end found us, it would not find us separated.” EndsWould BeLastsFoundSpeakPlansScenePagesFinalsGoodbyeTouchingFarewellManuscriptsTyping Book:Breaking Dawn: Twilight Source: Breaking Dawn: Twilight
