Karthik Subbaraj Quotes

I never have an intended audience. I just write, you know.

I end up writing about all kinds of things. I never make an attempt to write about anything in particular. I don't have a little list of topics to write about.

One thing I can tell you is this, that I am not a methodical writer.

In writing, I'm totally anti-plans of any kind. All my attempts to plan and plot novels have come to grief, and in expensive ways.

I don't set out to write something. I more just write, and later on, I discover what it's about.

I'm often just writing just to write. I'm not writing with...If I write, like, sitting down with a goal in mind, it's always, like, the worst. It turns into a ska song even if I'm trying to write like a horror movie sound track or something.

I realized I had a novel on my hands, but didn't know where it was going to go. So I thought, 'I'm going to do everything that you're not supposed to do when you plan a novel; I'm going to step back and let this thing take itself wherever it wants to go, and I'm not going to worry about how things connect until later on.'

My style of writing is to allow the story to unfold on its own. I try not to structure my work too rigidly.

I don't like outlining, because books are organic things. Sometimes a book doesn't want to be written in a certain way.

I didn't have any agenda or plan when I started writing stuff.

I'm not the sort of writer who can plan out things. Mostly I have no idea where I'm going.

The important discovery I made very early is that my novels had to be written without any given plan or outline. I can't do it in any other way. But then they are dependent on the sentences, my intuition, and, as I have experienced many times, the subconscious.

Even if you plan your book, the actual writing is unplanned.

I am not a consecutive writer.

When I start to write, I don't have any plan at all. I just wait for the story to come.

I just write what comes along. I don't have a detailed master plan.

I might see something on TV and get inspired to write about it. I can't sit down and plan to write. It has to come to me in my head like someone telling me the words.

I really don't keep an outline; I don't organize in any way. I just write.

I basically just write stream of consciousness to a certain extent. I let the song kind of go where it wants to go.

I don't really plan too much ahead when I write, because otherwise, I get kind of bored.

I am not a person of schedule when it comes to writing.

I never work from an outline, and often I don't know how the story will end.

The way I write is very much without kind of a goal. I have something I'm interested in and then I decide I'm going to explore it. I don't know where the characters are going to go, I don't know what the movie is going to do or what the screenplay is going to do. For me, that's the way to keep it alive.

My best stories come out of nowhere, with no concern for form at all.

I'm a fairly undisciplined writer.
