Bad Writing Advice From Famous Authors


“You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write.” — Saul Bellow

“Quantity produces quality. If you only write a few things, you are doomed.” — Ray Bradbury

“Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To hell with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.” — Kurt Vonnegut
