Terry Pratchett on Writing

Get inspired by the world's best writers.
Quotes illustration
“You have to have really wide reading habits and pay attention to the news and just everything that's going on in the world: you need to. If you get this right, then the writing is a piece of cake.”

More from Terry Pratchett

“I write books back to back, and I work very hard on them.”
“Generally I start writing when I have even the smallest idea of how a book is going to go, because the physical process of writing itself keeps the mind active and focused on the job at hand.”
“Usually I write in about 5 drafts, but that simply means there are 5 definite times when I go in a linear fashion from the beginning to the end of the book.”
“There are times when the best writing you can do is to go for a walk or drive, a long drive is ideal.”
“I certainly don't sit down and plan a book out before I write it.”
