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

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

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

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

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

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

“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!”
