“Exercise your imagination muscle! How many uses can you come up with for a flowerpot? Write down your answers. But don't write them in this book. Grab a separate sheet of paper. I didn't spend two and a half weeks writing a book just so you could mark up the pages with your silly ideas for things you can do with a flowerpot. When it comes down to it, what's wrong with a flowerpot not being a flowerpot? Why is nothing ever good enough for you?” WritingTwoBookIdeasEnoughUseCan DoImaginationAnswersHalfWeekExercisePaperPagesMarkCome UpSillyMusclesGood EnoughSheetsWriting A Book Author:Amy Sedaris

“I just can't fathom tweeting, and I'd rather spend my time writing a book than a blog, but I rather grudgingly agreed to a Facebook page. I had a brief, intense romance with Facebook. It's weirdly addictive, but anything that time-sucking is a danger for a writer who writes as slowly as I do. Now I post only occasionally and nothing very confessional. I think I'm carbon dating myself as I speak.” ThinkingWritingBookRomanceSpeakDangerPagesDatingIntensePostsMy TimeCarbonBlogsWriting A BookFathomFacebook Page Author:Debra Dean
“I start my process hand written, and then I dump it in. It's like you're getting a second draft 'cause when I put it in the computer, I fix it and change stuff. That's my process. I picked that up from speaking to Neil Gaiman and Joe Hill. I was messing around with the idea of starting to write more, writing a book and doing things like this, and I reached out for advice. They were like, "Oh, we hand write, and then we dump it all in." I was like, "Great! There's no more blank pages."” WritingBookIdeasHandsCausesStuffProcessWrittenAdviceLike YouComputerPagesStartingHillsBlankWriting A BookDumpBlank PagesGaimanStarting To Write Author:Gerard Way
“In researching literary agents I did what the books tell you to do: I looked at the acknowledgments page of a book that was similar to mine. Happily, that author thanked his agent. I looked up the agent on the web and found out that he not only represented authors writing books similar to mine, but I knew some of his clients! So, I sent in the manuscript, and they decided to represent it.” WritingBookFoundMinesPagesDecidedAgentsClientsWriting A BookManuscriptsAcknowledgmentLiterary Agents Author:Debra Hamel
