Edgar MitchellPeople will ask me, "How do you approach writing books for young readers differently than for adults?" My answer is always: I don't change anything about the story itself. I'm going to tell kids the way things really were. What I don't do - and this is the only thing I do differently in writing for kids - is that I don't revel in the gory details. I allow readers to fill in the details as necessary. But I donโt force kids to have to digest something theyโre not mature enough or ready for yet. If they are, they can fill in the details even better than I could, just with their imaginations.
Alan GratzEver since high school I've been writing in a spiral notebook, in pencil. Everything looks too polished on a computer when you start writing, and I can't really see it. I feel like the words are much more naked in pencil, on a notebook.

I tend to elongate the sentences as I'm writing and editing, and there is just something about the feeling of writing longhand that I really love.

Katherine JenkinsIf you look at most womens writing, women writers will describe women differently from the way male writers describe women.

Thom YorkeI think that the whole idea of โno regretsโ was always a silly idea to me, because of course I regret all the places I went wrong, but thatโs what creating anything, and being human, is all about. Of course if I could go back and knew what I know now, I absolutely would do it differently, Iโd do it the right way, but part of being human is that we canโt go back, we can only hope that if we come across that moment again, weโll do it the right way.

Hal ElrodI don't know when the last time was that Steven Spielberg or George Lucas made a movie with Universal, but I can tell you that Universal is leading the charge. They're looking at film differently. They're planning ahead in a way that I've never seen a studio do before. They're believing in a relationship between fan and film franchise, in a new way. They're more receptive to an audience, in part because of social media, in a way we've never been allowed.

Denise AustinSince each story presents its own technical problems, obviously one can't generalize about them on a two-times-two-equals-four basis. Finding the right form for your story is simply to realize the most natural way of telling the story. The test of whether or not a writer has defined the natural shape of his story is just this: After reading it, can you imagine it differently, or does it silence your imagination and seem to you absolute and final? As an orange is final. As an orange is something nature has made just right.

Chris PineI think that sense of surprise, that you don't know where something is going, or what's going to happen, even as you write, that you're making it up as you go along - that's important to me. It's not a question of shock or surprise in a gimmicky way.
