The need for raising the awareness of this shameful chapter in U.S. history is more apparent than ever.
Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.
I was writing a chapter of Beautiful Evidence on the subject of the sculptural pedestal, which led to my thinking about what’s up on the pedestal – the great leader.
I think ‘Sex and the City’ is a chapter that will never close. In a wonderful way, it’s always going to be an open chapter because it seems like new generations discover the show and relate to it, which is amazing, and you can’t hope for that.
When I closed the chapter, I’ll say, in the book with TNA in 2013, literally within, it was under 30 days – it was 20, 25 days – I was already into a production agreement with a production company based out of Los Angeles.
IT Chapter Two’ is the story of the Losers as adults 27 years later, but they go back to their memories to retrieve something that is very, very necessary. They have to remember who they were, as well as their amazing bond with each other.
The novelist in me is probably hiding behind all the stories I write, looking for ways to connect them and continue the conversation with readers. Maybe I’m writing one long narrative, and each book, however different from the last, is just a chapter.
Sometimes, a novel is like a train: the first chapter is a comfortable seat in an attractive carriage, and the narrative speeds up. But there are other sorts of trains, and other sorts of novels. They rush by in the dark; passengers framed in the lighted windows are smiling and enjoying themselves.
After I finish writing a chapter, I’ll print it out, cut it up into paragraphs, and cut away any transition sentences. Then I shuffle all the paragraphs and lay them out as they come. As I arrange and hold them next to each other, very quickly a natural structure for the chapter presents itself.
You have to understand that while I pre-plot the meta story of a given book, I often have no idea of what will happen on the next page, let alone the next chapter. That’s what makes it fun for me; I write the books the same way many people read them.
Bill Hader, nobody can play Richie like this guy, I think. It was great because, for some reason, ‘Chapter Two’ was a movie that everyone wanted to be in.
I have all these revelations as I’m writing. Each song is like a chapter of my diary.
There are no Hallmark cards that define the next chapter, or the value of a history together.
I write a chapter, then edit it and edit it and edit it and edit it. I don’t think we mine creativity from within. It’s bestowed from on high, from God.
I started writing novels by not thinking about actually writing a whole novel – that felt altogether too daunting. I thought out a rough idea, then wrote chapter by chapter, and then by the time I’d hit 40,000 words, it was a challenge just to see if I could get to the end.
I feel like we have so much to add to this book called the American Dream, and I want to add our chapter to it. I want to talk about what it means to be brown American and this concept of what I feel is the New Brown America.
Although I long to get away from the typewriter, if I think I can produce a better opening or a better closing to a chapter, I’ll change and change round again until I’m satisfied.
Your emotional life is not written in cement during childhood. You write each chapter as you go along.
After ‘The Orphanage’ and ‘The Impossible,’ ‘A Monster Calls’ is the perfect final chapter in a trilogy centred on the extraordinary strength of the mother-child bond.
We just have to go to that next class, read that next chapter, help that next person. You simply have to do that next good thing, and before you know it, you’re living a good life.
Hosting Undisputed’ has been an amazing experience and an exciting chapter in my career working with Skip and Shannon each weekday morning.
After preliminary research, I zero in on an idea, and then I spend at least four months exploring the topic and in plot-building. I jot down every single detail of the plot as bullet points per chapter, and only when the skeleton is complete do I start writing.
Prior to ‘Insidious Chapter 3,’ I was happy to write movies for James Wan to direct as I felt very much that I was one half of a duo. I looked at us as a team who works together and I was happy to be part of that, I was happy to effectively be the bass player in The Beatles.
When I signed with Bellator, I knew this would be a new positive chapter in my career.
Actually, 2016 wasn’t a good year for me, as I didn’t get any wins. But I started to feel things would get better when I found out about the pregnancy. I’m very happy, this is a new chapter of my life and I’m sure I’ll win and dedicate it to my daughter and my family.
The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We can help write that story by setting goals.
My cookbooks are like a personal journey for me, they’re like a chapter in my life.
Oppression doesn’t disappear just because you decided not to teach us that chapter.
I further value this gift as it gave me an opportunity to accept this distinguished honor in a country so devoted to this cause and whose history marks a wonderful chapter in world development.
Dylan Thomas is now as much a case history as a chapter in the history of poetry.
When I left the club, I said in an interview that my chapter with Borussia Dortmund was not over. I just wanted to realize my dream of playing in the Premier League.
‘Make You Miss Me’ is an important song to me. Having it go No. 1 as the fifth single off of my first record is the cherry on top of a chapter in my life I’ll never forget.
There’s a great charm in theatre; I enjoyed doing it for twelve years and did lots of plays. At this chapter of my life, I am a cinema actor, and I would like to continue to be so, and at some point I would return to the theatre.
I read one chapter of a book and put it down. Thank God for Kindle.
You might say presidents are drafting the first chapter of their memoirs in these seventh-year State of the Union addresses. They’re trying to get the public and the media to think about their presidencies in the way that they would like to have them thought of.
Honestly, ever since this influencer life started for me, I feel like every year is a new chapter.
Scientists say that 2 degrees is the furthest we can push the planet before it turns on us. Much like a sorority girl you keep hazing and hazing until she has no choice but to report you to the national chapter.
Five hundred words a day is what I aim for. And I don’t go on to the next chapter until I’ve polished and polished and polished the one I’m working on.
I’m big on having a blistering pace. That’s one of the hallmarks of what I do, and that’s not easy. I never blow up cars and things like that, so it’s something else that keeps the suspense flowing. I try not to write a chapter that isn’t going to turn on the movie projector in your head.
My goal as a novelist is to create smart entertainment, books that keep bright people up too late, that make them want to read just one more chapter. Books that have ideas threaded in amidst the thrilling bits, ideas that I hope linger even after people close the book.
As much as ‘It Chapter One’ is a movie about friendship and the power of unified belief, the second part is more about trauma.
I think Dan Brown is a terribly bad writer, but he has cliff-hangers after every chapter which makes you continue reading.
I am a businessman at the end of the day. I have grown up with Excel sheets. I start out writing my novel with spreadsheets and the milestones in each chapter highlighted.
I think apart from the new spectacle that ‘Chapter Two’ brings compared to the first one, the scope, scale, bigger canvas, I’m proud of the emotional journey.
Businesses which were slow to recognize the power of the Internet in the mid ’90s were quickly left behind. For example, Blockbuster failed to innovate with streaming technology and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2010.
You will, I am sure, agree with me that… if page 534 only finds us in the second chapter, the length of the first one must have been really intolerable.
You don’t just have a story – you’re a story in the making, and you never know what the next chapter’s going to be. That’s what makes it exciting.
Throughout my career and my life, I talk a lot about racism in this country, and if you’re going to talk about it, then you’re going to eventually come to the chapter about the Klan.
Marriage commissioners who choose not to marry homosexuals are being fired. A Knights of Columbus chapter in British Columbia is in court because it chooses not allow a lesbian group to use its facility for marriage ceremonies. The list goes on.
I type most of my books for the first chapter or two – I use a manual typewriter for the first 50 pages or so – and then I move to the computer. It helps me keep the work lean so I don’t end up spending 10 pages describing a leaf.
An album is like a book or a diary or a snapshot… It just feels so like the end of a chapter when you finish one.
Borrowing something from one art form and relocating it in another always has a whiff of pretension about it, like in books if, instead of ‘Chapter One,’ you have ‘First Movement.’
