I write my novels longhand. I love the feeling of writing; I love to see pen on paper. It feels more creative than typing, and it's a more visual process for me - I can picture the entire scene in my head and am merely writing what I see.
I reached a point where I'd watched enough directors do the job that I felt I understood it. And it's not that I'm a slow learner and it took me this long; I also was enjoying writing, and I still enjoy writing - I get tremendous satisfaction out of ...
I found that life intruding on writing was, in fact, life. And that, tempting as it may be for a writer who is a parent, one must not think of life as an intrusion. At the end of the day, writing has very little to do with writing, and much to do wit...
I really - I don't take my work that seriously, and I think that's what keeps me loose. If I try to write, if I catch myself trying to write, I'll fall right on my face. I'll see it. If I see in the prose that I'm - 'Boy, look at me writing,' I rewri...
I just write what I want to write.
I'm one of the idiots that negotiates after I write.
I am baffled by good writing.
I write my own tweets.
I write to reach eternity
I write music every day.
I read therefore I write.

I have to live my books before I write them.
If I write as well as I golf, I'm in trouble!
I go with the flow but I write against it.
I think film writing, you're thinking in pictures, and stage writing, you're thinking in dialogue. In film writing, it's also, you only get so many words, so everything has to earn its place in a really economical way. I think for stage writing, you ...
I write entirely in English; Tagalog chauvinists chide me for this. I feel no guilt in doing so. But I am sad that I cannot write in my native Ilokano. History demanded this; if it isn't English I am using now, I would most probably be writing in Spa...
When I reach the point that I write Yesterday, then I can retire.
I get the beginning. I get the end. Then I write the middle. That's how I do it.
I write because I have to; because I wouldn't know what to do with my hands if I didn't.
I write not because I want to but because I am destined to.
