Tom Bissell Zitate

I guess I would say that most of what I've learned about storytelling derives from novels and short stories. I cannot think of a novel or story, or a novelist or story writer, who thinks in terms of three-act structure.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich denke, ich würde sagen, dass das meiste, was ich über das Geschichtenerzählen gelernt habe, aus Romanen und Kurzgeschichten stammt. Ich kann weder an einen Roman oder eine Geschichte denken, noch an einen Romanautor oder einen Geschichtenerfasser, der in einer Struktur mit drei Akten denkt.

Well, to be honest I think I'm a better short story writer than a novelist. Novels I find very hard, hours and hours, weeks and weeks, of conscious thought - whereas short stories slip out painlessly in a few days.

Eric Brown

When you learn to read and write, it opens up opportunities for you to learn so many other things. When you learn to read, you can then read to learn. And it's the same thing with coding. If you learn to code, you can code to learn. Now some of the things you can learn are sort of obvious. You learn more about how computers work.

But at the same time, I have trouble keeping things out of books, which is why I don't write short stories because they turn into novels.

Jonathan Coe

I would recommend the short story form, which is a lot harder to write since you have to be so careful with words, until there is plenty of time to doodle through a novel.

Anne McCaffrey

I always wanted to be a writer, and I did want to be a novelist. In college I took a couple of classes that taught me I would never be a novelist. I discovered I had no imagination. My short stories were always thinly veiled memoir.

Anne Fadiman

When faced with something complex, spend the time to think about some structure, write down sentences, think about it some more, and then share it.

Steven Sinofsky

It is clear that when you write a story that takes place in the past, you try to show what really happened in those times. But you are always moved by the suspicion that you are also showing something about our contemporary world.

Umberto Eco

First, I would find an object which I would think is suitable for my characters and stories, then write about it, and in the end, I ended up with a house full of thousands of objects.

Orhan Pamuk

I think most short story writers, at one time or another, over the course of several books, naturally skirt near the edge of one genre or another.
