“The thing to remember when you're writing," he said, " is, it's not whether or not what you put on paper is true. It's whether it wakes a truth in your reader. I don't care what literary device you might use, or belief systems you tap into--if you can make a story true for the reader, if you can give them a glimpse into another way of seeing the world, or another way that they can cope with their problems, then that story is a succes.” IfsWorldWayGivingWritingSaidStoriesUseProblemMightCareRememberBeliefSeeingReaderPaperDon't CareI Don't CareDevicesGlimpseRemember WhenAnother WayBelief SystemsSeeing The WorldSuccesMight UseLiterary Devices Author:Charles de Lint
“I always write a draft version of the novel in which I try to develop, not the story, not the plot, but the possibilities of the plot. I write without thinking much, trying to overcome all kinds of self-criticism, without stopping, without giving any consideration to the style or structure of the novel, only putting down on paper everything that can be used as raw material, very crude material for later development in the story.” ThinkingGivingWritingTryingKindSelfStoriesUsedNovelStylePossibilityMaterialsDevelopmentPaperCriticismOvercomingStructureVersionsAll KindsConsiderationPlotStoppingCrudeRaw MaterialsSelf Criticism Book:A Writer's Reality Source: A Writer's Reality
“Music expresses feeling, that is to say, gives shape and habitation to feeling, not in space but in time. To the extent that music has a history that is more than a history of its formal evolution, our feelings must have a history too. Perhaps certain qualities of feeling that found expression in music can be recorded by being notated on paper, have become so remote that we can no longer inhabit them as feelings, can get a grasp of them only after long training in the history and philosophy of music, the philosophical history of music, the history of music as a history of the feeling soul.” GivingLongSoulPhilosophyFeelingsCertainFoundSpaceQualityExpressionEvolutionShapesPaperTrainingPhilosophicalFormalHistory Of Music Author:J.

“Surely it is an odd way to spend your life - sitting alone in a room with a pen in your hand, hour after hour, day after day, year after year, struggling to put words on pieces of paper in order to give birth to what does not exist - except in your head. Why on earth would anyone want to do such a thing? The only answer I have ever been able to come up with is: because you have to, because you have no choice.” WayWantGivingWritingYearsDoeHandsAbleEarthOrderChoicesHoursAnswersRoomsStrugglePiecesBirthPaperSittingCome UpOddPensAfter HoursSitting Alone Author:Paul Auster
“I love the book. I love the feel of a book in my hands, the compactness of it, the shape, the size. I love the feel of paper. The sound it makes when I turn a page. I love the beauty of print on paper, the patterns, the shapes, the fonts. I am astonished by the versatility and practicality of The Book. It is so simple. It is so fit for its purpose. It may give me mere content, but no e-reader will ever give me that sort of added pleasure.” GivingFeelsMayBookHandsPurposeTurnsSoundSimplePleasureReaderFitShapesPaperPagesGive MeMereSizePatternsPrintPracticalityVersatilityFonts Author:Susan Hill
