  1. Inspiring lines from crime fiction writers

  2. Here are some of the most inspiring words from the most well-known crime thriller writers, curated by the Emplying review team. The words characters use and the gestures they make should be enough for the reader to know who is talking and how they’re feeling. ~Unknown I try to leave out the parts that people skip. ~Elmore Leonard Writing is the flip side of sex – it’s good only when it’s over. ~Hunter S Thompson My task, which I am trying to achieve, is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel – it is, before all, to make you see. ~Joseph Conrad Write every day even if it is just a paragraph. ~Michael Connelly All the information you need can be given in dialogue. ~Elmore Leonard Have something you want to say. ~Ian Rankin Any author, like their protagonist, must endure sacrifice, or be willing to do so,~Unknown There are only two pieces of advice any would-be writer needs. The first is Give up. Those who heed that don’t need to hear the second, which is Don’t give up.~Mick Herron My purpose is to entertain myself first and other people secondly. ~John D MacDonald

  3. I never read a review of my own work. Either it was going to depress me or puff me up in ways that are useless.~Paul Auster I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite. ~G K Chesterton I abhor crime novels in which the main character can behave however he or she pleases, or do things that normal people do not do, without those actions having social consequences. ~Steig Larsson The best crime novels are all based on people keeping secrets. All lying – you may think a lie is harmless, but you put them all together and there’s a calamity. ~Alafair Burke With the crime novels, it’s delightful to have protagonists I can revisit in book after book. It’s like having a fictitious family. ~John Banville I think the “crime novel” has replaced the sociological novel of the 1930s. I think the progenitor of that tradition is James M. Cain, who in my view is the most neglected writer in American literature. ~James Lee Burke The most difficult part of any crime novel is the plotting. It all begins simply enough, but soon you’re dealing with a multitude of linked characters, strands, themes and red herrings – and you need to try to control these unruly elements and weave them into a pattern. ~Ian Rankin For more great thriller action content, check out Emplying today.
