Kate Morton Writing Quotations

Some say I'm an overnight success. Well, that was a very long night that lasted about 10 years. But while I do, of course, now feel the pressure having had books that have been very successful, I just know I have to concentrate on writing for myself. I can't worry about genres or markets or what might be commercial or not. That never works.

I love the structural part of the writing process.

I simply love writing good stories, that's my passion.

I write what I'd like to read and just hope that, along the way, others might like to read them, too.

People might think writing is a hard business, but it's nowhere near acting.

No two people will ever see or feel things in the same way, Merry. The challenge is to be truthful when you write. Don't approximate. Don't settle for the easiest combination of words. Go searching instead for those that explain exactly what you think. What you feel.
