Daniel Pinkwater Writing Quotations

All my books were easy to write - doesn't it show?

I sort of always like to write starting with when I learned how.

Read a lot. Write a lot. Have fun.

Writing and telling are almost the same, the way I do it.

I'd always liked to write, but I never wanted to be a writer, because it seemed a sissy occupation. It is. To this day, I find it terribly easy. And so, rather than trying to hunt up a text, I just wrote one.

Children make better readers than adults. They read as carefully as I write; adults read as a means of getting off to sleep. I get letters saying 'I have read your book seventeen times.' If you're an adult novelist and you get that letter, you should be afraid. You're being stalked. Kids always read them seventeen times!

I went to college, but I learned to write by reading - and writing.
