I wasn't writing the music. Ed would write a piece of music. I'd listen to it and come up with a melody and then we would arrange it. We'd put it together and I would write lyrics to my melodies.
I think that most people who write about music just want to fill some paper. They're not really interested in getting to the heart of something. Otherwise, they wouldn't write what they write.
Having writers block sucks more than my actual writing. And my writing would be astonishing if I could write how I feel.
I am a disciplined person. When I am writing, I write for 7-8 hours.
I don't write tracts, I write novels. I'm not a preacher, I'm a fiction writer.
Honestly...this is why I write. I write to get the happy ending I sometimes feel is eluding me. I write for my sanity.
When I write legally, I try to write very plain, very vanilla, very clear.
With my writing, what I want to do is humanize the young people I write about.
When you're writing a novel - at least the way I write is I work from what I would call 'emotional atmosphere,' ambiance to ambiance.

I still love books. Nothing a computer can do can compare to a book. You can't really put a book on the Internet. Three companies have offered to put books by me on the Net, and I said, 'If you can make something that has a nice jacket, nice paper wi...
Why do you have such a nice Bible?” Kelsea asked. “The Bible is a book, Kelsea, a book that has influenced mankind for thousands of years. It deserves to be preserved in a good edition, just like any other important book.” “Do you believe it�...
Make careful choice of the books which you read: let the holy Scriptures ever have the preeminence. Let Scripture be first and most in your hearts and hands and other books be used as subservient to it. While reading ask yourself: 1. Could I spend th...
It's time for bed. And here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to get in bed, and I don't have anyone to sleep with now, so what I do is I sleep with my books. And I know that's kind of weird and solitary and pathetic. But if you think about it, it's ...
Writing is hard - writing is the hardest.
You’re easy to read, Ivy, but the whole book of you is complicated.
Book lovers are not necessarily people lovers.
Inconveniently, books are all the pages in them, not just the ones you choose to read.
I don't understand your book. Isn't every book a book of words?
You can't eat books, sweetheart.
...books were better than travel.
