Writing Advice from Chuck Palahniuk

Over the years I’ve quoted Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk on several occasions, so I decided to collect all his advice I’ve regurgitated on this blog into one entry. Below are some quote from his writing craft book Consider This that has spoken to me over the years:

Palahniuk

“Do not write to be liked. Write to be remembered.”

“… Submerge the I. Always keep the camera pointed elsewhere, describing other characters. Strictly limit a narrator’s reference to self.”

“… I saw how the picture [of the Last Supper] is really a catalog of gesture. The body language transcends Italian or English. Honestly, all the emoticons are there in one painting.”

Chuck Palahniuk, Consider This

This is a link to an article chock full of great writing advice from Chuck. It’s a reprint of a Christmas-themed essay he wrote.
