Wally Lamb
However far fiction writers stray from their own lives and experiences - and I stray pretty far from mine - I think, ultimately, that we may be writing what we need to write in some way, albeit unconsciously.
Wally Lamb
I love revising. If you demystify the process, it comes down to four strategies: what can I do to make the draft better what should I cut out to make it stronger what do I need to do to clarify it and finally, what should I reposition.
Wally Lamb
I won't read novels while writing novels.
Wally Lamb
Love comes in far more shapes and sizes than what the family-values crowd condones, of course.
Wally Lamb
Take what people give you. Drink their milkshakes.
