Writing Way Ends

More From C. S. Forester

The end of 'the end' is the best place to begin 'the end', because if you read 'the end' from the beginning of the beginning of 'the end' to the end of the end of 'the end', you will arrive at the end.
Best Place Ends Ifs
It's very bad to write a novel by act of will. i can do a book of nonfiction work that way - just sign the contract and do the book because, provided the topic has some meaning for me, i know i can do it. but a novel is different. a novel is more like falling in love. you don't say, 'i'm going to fall in love next tuesday, i'm going to begin my novel.' the novel has to come to you. it has to feel just like love.
Falling In Love Book Love You
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 i'm writing a novel, i'll probably get up in the morning, do email, perhaps blog, deal with emergencies, and then be off novel-writing around 1.00pm and stop around 6.00pm. and i'll be writing in longhand, a safe distance from my computer. if i'm not writing a novel, there is no schedule, and scripts and introductions and whatnot can find themselves being written at any time and on anything.
Morning Distance Writing
I always rewrite the very beginning of a novel. i rewrite the beginning as i write the ending, so i may spend part of morning writing the ending, the last 100 pages approximately, and then part of the morning revising the beginning. so the style of the novel has a consistency.
Morning Writing Consistency
When i complete a novel i set it aside, and begin work on short stories, and eventually another long work. when i complete that novel i return to the earlier novel and rewrite much of it. in the meantime the second novel lies in a desk drawer.

Similar Quotes
Our roots are in the dark; the earth is our country. why did we look up for blessing -- instead of around, and down? what hope we have lies there. not in the sky full of orbiting spy-eyes and weaponry, but in the earth we have looked down upon. not from above, but from below. not in the light that blinds, but in the dark that nourishes, where human beings grow human souls.
Country Lying Eye
What freedom lies in flying, what godlike power it gives to men . . . i lose all consciousness in this strong unmortal space crowded with beauty, pierced with danger.

I always try to be myself. ever since i was an introverted kid, i'd get on stage and be able to break out of my shell.

New york is something awful, something monstrous. i like to walk the streets, lost, but i recognize that new york is the world's greatest lie. new york is senegal with machines.
