I spend a lot of time just thinking how she'll react to things and manipulating her into drawing perverse, horrific things. It's a really weird job but I enjoy it. Brian K.

Vaughan writinghandsthinking I genuinely am sort of an emotionally stunted man-child, so if I just write to the top of my intelligence, it sounds like a teenager. I like being around teenagers.

Brian Koppelman writinginspirationalthinking It's very nice to be able to write something you don't have to get four other people to agree with before it can become authoritative. Brian Lamb niceagreementwriting A literary critic is someone who can't write, but who loves to show he would have been a wonderful writer if only he could! Brian Lumley criticswritingwonderful Now, when I was in the Army, writing was my hobby. Brian Lumley hobbiesarmywriting I'll know when the ideas aren't fresh anymore.

Listen to what they say, listen to how they say it and listen to what they do not say. Surprise yourself. Scare yourself. Brian Michael Bendis wishwritingpeople«175176177178179180181182183184185»
