Quote of the Day: Writing is all about location

,

I don’t know where my ideas come from, but I know where they come to. They come to my desk, and if I’m not there, they go away again.

—Philip Pullman

Think of this as a continuation of today’s earlier post, which had advice from Scott Raab on the not-so-magical qualities it takes to be a good writer: passion, hard work and endurance.

Another way to put it is a quote I’ve heard attributed to Oliver Stone, though I can’t find a definitive citation. Asked the secret to writing good screenplays, Stone said it was to keep your butt in the chair.
