Quotes by Nicholas Trandahl
Sometimes just being able to write only a few hundred words as opposed to a few thousand is just fine. As long as they’re good words.
Henry David Thoreau is my favorite writer of all time, my literary god king, and his essay Wild Apples is my favorite thing to read.
Thoreau’s writings feel more alive to me than any thing that I’ve ever read. When I read anything by Thoreau, I see his subject. I feel it. I taste it. I smell it. I feel as though he’s walking beside me, showing me with gestures and soft-spoken words the marvelous natural wonders that he’s written about.
Whenever I read anything by Henry David Thoreau I honestly feel as though he’s with me. No. More like I am with him.
I feel like these characters, these places, these beings and plots, and even these inanimate objects are counting on me for survival. It’s my responsibility to reveal them to the world, to show my readers the names of these things, to show them their histories and stories.
I write fiction not for my readers and not for myself. I write fiction for the sake of those odd heroic characters that are contained therein. They are counting on me as much as I am counting on them.
I’m a man of music as much as I am a man of words and prose. One could even possibly say that they, music and prose, are connected to a lengthy and mutually beneficial extent and that they have been of centuries or millenniums.
There are a couple of utterly important rules to writing anything, whether it's a novel, a short story or a collection of poetry. And they're really the only rules.1: Quit talking about it and start.2: Focus and finish it.
In my own book-signings, I find humility. It’s always humbling when people go out of their way to come visit with me and by some of my books.
As long as I have other ideas and projects noted, I feel confident that they'll be alright until I get to them. And my ideas and tastes may have evolved by the time I get to them so that an idea can be discarded or expanded upon in ways that I wouldn't have thought of had I started on that project right away instead of finishing what I was currently on. It's good to give those ideas time to ripen and blossom.
