Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Harry Harrison: I know writers who start a story with no idea how it will end; I would rather die first. I am a firm back-plotter and must know the ending before I begin, then expend writing energy disguising the fact that I always know what is coming next.
-
Harry Harrison: Writing is a fragile act. When one is pulling language, thoughts, ideas out of thin air, or the turgid subconscious, any disturbance disturbs. ...I know of no serious writer who does not need his solitude, his sitting and thinking time, in addition to his writing time.
