How do you write?
Longhand at first. Then I use the typewriter.
You never write directly onto the computer?
Oh no, I couldn’t do that. I want to be forced to work
slowly because I don’t want to get too much on
paper... I take a long time... I type and retype.

GeorgesSimenon
“One (problem) which will probably haunt me more than any other is the problem of communication. I mean communication between two people. The fact that we are I don’t know how many millions of people, yet communication, complete communication, is completely impossible between two of those people, is to me one of the biggest tragic themes in the world. When I was a young boy I was afraid of it. I would almost scream because of it. It gave me such a sensation of solitude, of loneliness. That is a theme I have taken I don’t know how many times.”

“Who knows sometimes where stories come from? They are perhaps more attached to the author’s emotional life and come more out of inspiration than slogging. You shouldn’t write without inspiration—at least not very often... A novel is a job. Story writers working on a novel are typically in pain through the entire thing. But a story can be like a mad, lovely visitor, with whom you spend a rather exciting weekend.”
LorrieMoore
INSPIRATION
![Page 53: Advanced Writing - Week 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062701/5539f5f5550346b04c8b4a4f/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
ErnestHemingway
“You can write any time people will leave you alone and not interrupt you. Or rather you can if you will be ruthless enough about it. But the best writing is certainly when you are in love.”
LOVE
![Page 54: Advanced Writing - Week 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062701/5539f5f5550346b04c8b4a4f/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
UmbertoEco
“I think that at a certain age, say fifteen or sixteen, poetry is like masturbation. But later in life good poets burn their early poetry, and bad poets publish it. Thankfully I gave up rather quickly.”
YOUTH

NormanMailer
“You end up with a keen sense of what you still have as a writer, and also of what you don’t have any longer. As you grow older, there’s no reason why you can’t be wiser as a novelist than you ever were before. You should know more about human nature every year of your life. Do you write about it quite as well or as brilliantly as you once did? No, not quite.”
EXPERIENCE

WilliamFaulkner
“There is no mechanical way to get the writing done, no shortcut. The young writer would be a fool to follow a theory. Teach yourself by your own mistakes; people learn only by error. The good artist believes that nobody is good enough to give him advice. He has supreme vanity. No matter how much he admires the old writer, he wants to beat him.”

BillyCollins
“There’s a lot of waiting around until something happens... For me it’s a very sporadic activity. Until recently, I thought ‘occasional poetry’ meant that you wrote only occasionally. So there’s a lot of waiting, and there’s a kind of vigilance involved.”

TomWolfe
“To me, it’s a novel that pulls you inside the central nervous system of the characters . . . and makes you feel in your bones their motivations as affected by the society of which they are a part. It is folly to believe that you can bring the psychology of an individual successfully to life without putting him very firmly in a social setting.”

HaJin
“The Chinese language has a lot of political jargon. You can talk at length without saying much, because these pieces of jargon become like formulas for public speech. And those expressions become a part of people’s consciousness. Very often people don’t question the meaning of what they’re saying…“English has more flexibility. It’s a very plastic, very shapeable, very expressive language. In that sense it feels quite natural. The Chinese language is less natural. Written Chinese is not supposed to represent natural speech, and there are many different spoken dialects that correspond to the single written language. The written word will be the same in all dialects, but in speech it is a hundred different words.”
WHY ENGLISH?
