Horace

“To have good sense, is the first principle and fountain of writing well. … Let whatever is imagined for the sake of entertainment have as much likeness to truth as possible.”

Alfred Uhry

“It’s very important for a playwright to be able to listen to the reading and not be so frightened that you can’t hear anything.  You’ve got to make yourself do that.  It’s really hard.  Everybody is looking at me.  It’s nightmare time.”

Donald Barthelme

“Write about what you’re most afraid of.”
