amandaonwriting: Literary Birthday - 30 September Happy Birthday, Truman Capote, born 30 September 1924, died 25 August 1984 10 Intriguing Truman Capote Quotes On Writing To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it’s about, but the inner music that words make. A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That’s why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet. You can’t blame a writer for what the characters say.  Finishing a book is just like you took a child out in the back yard and shot it.  All literature is gossip Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself. Since each story presents its own technical problems, obviously one can’t generalize about them on a two-times-two-equals-four basis. Finding the right form for your story is simply to realize the most natural way of telling the story.  All writing, all art, is an act of faith.  My preferred pastimes are conversation, reading, travel and writing, in that order. It’s a very excruciating life facing that blank piece of paper every day and having to reach up somewhere into the clouds and bring something down out of them. Truman Capote was an American author, whose short stories, novels, plays, and non-fiction are recognized literary classics, including the novella Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the true crime novel In Cold Blood.At least 20 films and television dramas have been produced from Capote novels, stories and screenplays.

“Escribir es una forma de terapia. A veces me pregunto cómo se las arreglan los que no escriben, o los que no pintan o componen música, para escapar de la locura, de la melancolía, del terror pánico inherente a la condición humana.”

“Por primera vez sintió que la inmensa distancia que los separaba era insignificante… Estaban unidos por un hilo invisible, oculto entre mil cosas de poca importancia, que sólo podía existir entre dos personas como ellos: dos soledades que se reconocían.”

I Once Dated A Writer and

senturysam:

Writers are forgetful,

but they remember everything.
They forget appointments and anniversaries,
but remember what you wore,
how you smelled,
on your first date…
They remember every story you’ve ever told them -
like ever,
but forget what you’ve just said.
They don’t remember to water the plants
or take out the trash,
but they don’t forget how
to make you laugh.
.
Writers are forgetful
because
they’re busy
remembering
the important things.

“a Witch is born out of the true hungers of her time (…) I am a child of the poisonous wind that copulated with the River on an oil-slick, garbage infested midnight. I turn about on my own parentage. I inoculate against those very biles that brought me to light. I am a serum born of venoms. I am the antibody of all Time.”
