Giuseppe Bianco

“A drawing begins with 1 line; a story begins with 1 word; a dream begins with 1 idea, and they all die with 1 doubt. Believe in yourself.”

“Reality is the place we need to live, but our imaginations harbor the greatest places to visit!”

“My definition of self-published:A printed work distributed by someone who believes more in sharing their story than making a fortune.”

“When you are writing, you do not need to be as good as Poe, Shakespeare or Rowling. You need to be as good as you!”

“I truly believe the appeal of my novel ranges in readers from ages 8 to 108. I always challenge myself in my storytelling to make certain that readers of all ages can connect with my character through her journey. I promise you will fall in love with Willow Krimble if you take the journey with her.”

“Never compromise your character's personality just to make a scene more exciting. Stories flow through your character, so never forget who they are.”

“It doesn't matter how a novel was printed. What matters are the words in between the pages.”

“Reading is a way to escape the real world. Writing is a way to create a new one.”

“Writing is a unique art-form. You are painting a detailed image in someone's mind, and it will be different for every single reader.”

“Be open to suggestions, but don't let anyone dictate how you should tell your story. Who can possibly tell your story better than you?”

“If you don't care about the main character in a novel, then you probably won't care about the story either.”

“When writing, don't try to lead the story; let the story lead you.”

“If you're writing a story and YOU can't wait to see how it all pans out, then you are doing something right.”

“Stay focused on your goal and never let your mind cloud you with doubt - or conceit for that matter.”

“Don't ever let anyone convince you that your imagination is wrong.”

“The question isn't "is your novel good enough?" The question is: "Do you believe in it?”

“Find your creative outlet and plug into it. Otherwise, you may just short-circuit.”

“Ideas come from the mind, execution of those ideas come from the heart.”

“The person you need to please the most with your story is yourself.”

“Don't write to impress. Write to inspire.”

“If you reshape yourself to fit a mold, then you are no longer an original work of art.”

“Writing a story is like getting to share a piece of every daydream you've ever had.”

“Believing in others is easy. It's believing in yourself that's the real challenge.”

“The only failed book is the one that was never written, out of fear-of-failure.”

“Don't daydream about your happily-ever-after, and don't wait for it to come; create it yourself.”

“Never let your mind talk you out of what your heart wants.”

“Don't waste your daydreams on your mind. Tell the world a story.”
