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

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

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

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

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

“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?”

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