Quotes by Writing I tend to write poetry that is rich in data of various sorts. The lyric poem isn't perfectly suited to accommodating such data, so I've had to find new ways to say everything that I want to say. Campbell McGrath datawantwriting As Im writing, certain things become clear to me and certain things begin to feel right and make sense. The pieces start to fall into place. Candace Bushnell pieceswritingfall Well I actually do have a country house in Connecticut with a population of 3,000. Like, how small is that? I spend a lot of time there - I write up there. So I kind of have the best of both worlds and I love going up there. Candace Bushnell housewritingcountry I know I'm not a wordsmith. And I don't write poetry.

Candace Bushnell i-canwantwriting When it comes to people -- don't write about who you know; but what you know of human nature. Candace Bushnell who-you-knowwritingpeople I started working for the 'NY Observer' when I was 33.

Candace Bushnell should-havewritingyears I love to read. And right now I'm on my last hundred pages of 'The Corrections' by Jonathan Franzen, and I really enjoyed it. His writing is just - he's one of those writers where you just go, 'There are people just meant to be novel writers.' Candice Accola pageswritingpeople People often say that writing is ten percent inspiration and ninety percent perspiration. This is nonsense, of course. It's pretty much one hundred percent caffeine. Caprice Crane inspirationwritingpeople What I've wanted to do my whole life is just act. When I was younger, I loved to entertain people. I always used to make up dance routines, do little plays. I love to perform, basically. Music, as well, is a passion of mine. I've been singing my whole life. I probably annoy people because I sing all the time on the streets. And I play the drums and I play the guitar. I've been writing music since I was 13. Cara Delevingne passionwritingpeople The French are nice people.

Carey Mercer writingsongthinking Regarding pushing the form, ideas interest me more than form. I think you can write a very subversive play in a three-act structure. The content makes the play. I feel the form is simply dressing, because ultimately, you want to communicate to the audience, and sometimes the best way to do that is to present a provocative idea in a format that is comfortable for them to receive. Then the idea will come through directly, right in solar plexus. After all, I want to make a living as an artist, and that means speaking to the audience in a form they can understand.
