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

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

“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.”

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

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