Writing Take Time My Way

More From Philip Roth

The secret to writing is just to write. write every day. never stop writing. write on every surface you see; write on people on the street. when the cops come to arrest you, write on the cops. write on the police car. write on the judge. i'm in jail forever now, and the prison cell walls are completely covered with my writing, and i keep writing on the writing i wrote. that's my method.
Wall Writing Cells
I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.
Writing Hard Times Thinking
If you want to be a writer, write. write and write and write. if you stop, start again. save everything that you write. if you feel blocked, write through it until you feel your creative juices flowing again. write. writing is what makes a writer, nothing more and nothing less.
Writing Creative Juices Want
I myself, as i'm writing, don't know who did it. the readers and i are on the same ground. when i start to write a story, i don't know the conclusion at all and i don't know what's going to happen next. if there is a murder case as the first thing, i don't know who the killer is. i write the book because i would like to find out. if i know who the killer is, there's no purpose to writing the story.
Book Writing Purpose
I started writing sketches with dennis kelly, who i ended up writing 'pulling' with. we entered a bbc competition and did quite well, then started writing bits for other people's shows. you wheedle your way in, write pilots and eventually you end up writing a sitcom.
Writing People Competition
Go where the pleasure is in your writing. go where the pain is. write the book you would like to read. write the book you have been trying to find but have not found. but write. and remember, there are no rules for our profession. ignore rules. ignore what i say here if it doesn't help you. do it your own way. every writer knows fear and discouragement. just write.the world is crying for new writing. it is crying for fresh and original voices and new characters and new stories. if you won't write the classics of tomorrow, well, we will not have any.

Pain Player Cities
It is not ignoble to feel that the fuller life which a sad experience has brought us is worth our personal share of pain. the growth of higher feeling within us is like the growth of faculty, bringing with it a sense of added strength. we can no more wish to return to a narrower sympathy than painters or musicians can wish to return to their cruder manner, or philosophers to their less complete formulas.
Pain Sadness Feelings
The happiest is he who suffers the least pain; the most miserable, he who enjoys the least pleasure.
Happiness Pain Joy
Pain will never leave us. instead of putting energy into destroying pain, we need to put energy into creating pleasure.
