“No it is not easy to write. It is as hard as breaking rocks. Sparks and splinters fly like shattered steel.”
“My friends... today, we are not Fey, Celierian, or dahl'reisen, but brothers, united and strong, each of us honorable and worthy warriors of Light. We are the steel no enemy can shatter. We are the magic no Dark power can defeat. We are the rock upon which evil breaks like waves. We are warriors of honor, champions of Light.”
“Writing is easy. Writing is hard. It's a breeze and a struggle, just like life.”
“Easy reading is damn hard writing.”
“A writer learns that easy to read is hard to write ...”
“It is after all so easy to shatter a story. To break a chain of thought. To ruin a fragment of a dream being carried around carefully like a piece of porcelain. To let it be, to travel with it, as Velutha did, is much the harder thing to do.”
