Paul Harding Zitate

The silver lining of those years when I was trying to get 'Tinkers' published but couldn't were the years when I had to decide, Why do I want to be a writer? I realized that writing is the thing itself; writing is not a means to publication, writing is not a predicate of publication, so I spent years making art for art's sake.

Paul Harding

Deutsche Übersetzung

Das Silber der Jahre, als ich versuchte, "Tinkers" zu veröffentlichen, war aber nicht die Zeit, in der ich mich entscheiden musste: Warum will ich Schriftsteller werden? Mir wurde klar, dass das Schreiben das Ding selbst ist; Schreiben ist kein Mittel zur Veröffentlichung, Schreiben ist kein Prädikat für Veröffentlichungen. Ich habe Jahre damit verbracht, Kunst für die Kunst zu machen.

Englisches Zitat von Karl Marlantes als Bild

I began writing 'Matterhorn' in 1975 and for more than 30 years I kept working on my novel in my spare time, unable to get an agent or publisher to even read the manuscript.

I had several publishers, and they were all the same. They all wanted salacious. And everybody is writing autobiographies, and that's one reason why I'm not going to do it. If young Posh Spice can write her autobiography, then I don't want to write one!

Englisches Zitat von Carlos Ruiz Zafon als Bild

I realised that I had always been writing things that other people wanted me to write and not what I really wanted to write, so I felt like I was losing my way.

When I realized I wanted to do more writing and less traveling around the world teaching live seminars, I decided to write the first 'Chicken Soup for the Soul(R)' book. I knew I wanted to have 100 stories in the book, so I wrote or edited two stories a week for a year.

Jack Canfield

Well, what's interesting, I try not to think about the radio when I'm writing a song. I want people to love the song, and that means it might not be exactly thinking about the radio, but it's thinking about your audience and saying, 'I want people to like this song after it's done.'

Englisches Zitat von Herbie Mann als Bild

What I try to do is produce an atmosphere where musicians want to invest in what they do and give to the recording. I hire those musicians who I know will play something creative and interesting.

So it's mix and match. Hold your line when you really feel something you're saying is wonderful and you really want to get this point across and prove it to your partner by just throwing it into the tape and letting it speak for itself.

After being rejected for years, I found a publisher for 'Keeper,' and it won prizes, and then I had to write a second and a third book because I kept taking the money and spending it.

Englisches Zitat von Adam Johnson als Bild

Imagine a world in which no writer has written a literary novel in sixty years. Imagine a place where not a single person has read a book that is truly about the character at its center.
