Jesmyn Ward Zitate

I've found that in fiction - and this is just the kind of writer I am - I can't really work from an outline. I have a vague idea of the characters at the beginning of the book, and then I have a vague idea of whatever the end of the book will be, but I can't approach creative nonfiction like that.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich habe das in der Fiktion gefunden - und das ist genau die Art Schriftsteller, die ich bin - ich kann nicht wirklich nach einer Gliederung arbeiten. Ich habe eine unbestimmte Vorstellung von den Charakteren zu Beginn des Buches, und dann habe ich eine unbestimmte Vorstellung davon, was auch immer das Ende des Buches sein wird, aber ich kann keine kreativen Sachbücher so ansprechen.

I feel like if a film is well-written, then the character's arc is complete. There really is very little room to expand on that afterwards.

I like to read really good books - anything that's really great, whether it's fiction, non-fiction, how-to, or whatever.

When I am wrong, I will learn the lesson and move on to face other challenges. For me, that's what creating your own life is. Doing your best work while being your best self.

I look for two things when I am about to launch into a book. First, there has to be a dramatic arc to the story itself that will carry me, and the reader, from beginning to end. Second, the story has to weave through larger themes that can illuminate the world of the subject.

David Maraniss

When I'm writing fiction I'm thinking, God, this is so hard - I have to make all this stuff up! I wish I were writing a nonfiction book where all the facts are laid out and I don't have to be so much at sea.

Douglas Preston

'Divergent' was my utopian world. I mean, that wasn't the plan. I never even set out to write dystopian fiction, that's just what I had when I was finished. At the beginning, I was just writing about a place I found interesting and a character with a compelling story, and as I began to build the world, I realized that it was my utopia.

Veronica Roth

That's my suggestion for kids who want to act, by the way: Make sure it's really your choice, get out of it when it stops being fun, and get an education.

Mara Wilson

Whatever I'm working on, the character I'm playing tends to slowly bleed into my own real life. Not in any kind of creepy, Method actor-y kind of way - it's just an innate kind of merging.

Paul Rudd

It's hard to know whether certain characters come to life or not, they either come to have their own life or they don't. I've written many things in which the characters just remain inert.
