All DEAN KOONTZ Quotes about “Writing”

“A plot without action is like pasta without garlic, like Dolly Parton without cleavage, and like a writer without his similes.”
“When I'm working on a novel, I work 70-hour weeks.”
“If you write with passion in your own style, you will make a place for yourself”
“I don't write a quick draft and then revise; instead, I work slowly page by page, revising and polishing.”
“Sometimes many publishers prefer that you write the same book every time, but I have a low boredom threshold so that isn't going to happen.”
“If you have to pay the bills, and you write something you're not proud of, use a pen-name for that.”
“The only reason I would write a sequel is if I were struck by an idea that I felt to be equal to the original. Too many sequels diminish the original.”
“If I had to write a rough draft, all the way through and then go back and start over, I probably would just stop writing. I wouldn't find that interesting. I would feel that I had committed so many things to the paper that I couldn't easily undo because one thing leads to the next, the interconnectedness, the sequences would make it very hard to change something that simply didn't work.”
