Writers and Madmen

December 15, 2023Posted in WritingTagged madness, quote, Ray Bradbury, WritingLeave a comment

Light fare today. A quote from Ray Bradbury.

Many people hear voices when no one is there.

Some of them are called ‘mad’ and are shut up in rooms where they stare at the walls all day.

Others are called ‘writers’ and they do pretty much the same thing.

— Ray Bradbury

Novel writing doesn’t breed serenity

October 24, 2023Posted in WritingTagged quote, Vonnegut, WritingLeave a comment

“Novel writing doesn’t breed serenity. It is lying, you know, and the novelist has to spend a lot of time during the course of his writing worrying about whether he is going to get away with his lies. If he fails to, his novel isn’t going to work.”

— Kurt Vonnegut
