"You can write a short story in..." - Quote by Ray Bradbury
You can write a short story in two hours. Two hours a day, you have a novel in a year.

More on Writing
“The truth is that I know very few novelists who have been satisfied with the adaptation of their books for the screen.”
“A person who can write a long letter with ease, cannot write ill.”
“A sentence should be read as if its author, had he held a plough instead of a pen, could have drawn a furrow deep and straight to the end.”
More on Productivity
“Every time a resolve or a fine glow of feeling evaporates without bearing practical fruit is worse than a chance lost; it works to hinder future resolutions and emotions from taking the normal path of discharge. There is no more contemptible type of human character than that of the nerveless sentimentalist and dreamer, who spends his life in a weltering sea of sensibility and emotion, but who never does a manly concrete deed.”
“Have a bias toward action - let's see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.”
“A productive and happy life is not something you find; it is something you make.”
