“Some writing is a really nice solitary process, in a way, because you can be a little self-conscious around other people. If it's just you, and you're at your favorite piano, or whatever instrument, and you feel comfortable, then somehow, I always feel like it's opening a door and letting whatever is to pass through pass.” PeopleIfsWayFeelsWritingLittlesSelfProcessNiceDoorsComfortableConsciousInstrumentsOpeningPianoSolitarySelf ConsciousReally NiceYour Favorite Author:Marketa Irglova
“Talking is a hydrant in the yard and writing is a faucet upstairs in the house. Opening the first takes the pressure off the second.” WritingFirstsHouseTalkingPressureOpeningYardsUpstairs Book:Selected Letters Source: Selected Letters
“From the opening lines, Sleeping with Schubert is a hilarious, whimsical romp through the looking glass of a great musical mystery. The writing snaps, crackles, and pops with humor as Bonnie Marson makes Schubert a sexy, happening kind of guy who gives new meaning to our dreaming the impossible.” GivingWritingKindDreamGuyLinesSleepImpossibleMysteryHappeningsMusicalGlassesSexyPopsOpeningSnapsGreat MusicWhimsicalThrough The Looking GlassSchubert Author:Jonis Agee
“There are all sorts of theories and ideas about what constitutes a good opening line. It's tricky thing, and tough to talk about because I don't think conceptually while I work on a first draft -- I just write. To get scientific about it is a little like trying to catch moonbeams in a jar. But there's one thing I'm sure about. An opening line should invite the reader to begin the story. It should say: Listen. Come in here. You want to know about this.” ThinkingKnowsWantShouldWritingTryingFirstsLittlesIdeasStoriesLinesOne ThingTheoryReaderToughOpeningInvitesTrickyJarsMoonbeams Author:Stephen King
