“Writing is the art of remembering and forgetting. You must forget what you’ve already written, because if you’re dwelling on your old material you can’t write new material, and you must remember all you’ve written and read, so you are not duplicating already existing writing.”
“To be a writer, you must write. To be a published writer you must finish what you write and then get what you've written in front of the outside world.”
“To be a successful fiction writer you have to write well, write a lot … and let ‘em know you’ve written it! Then rinse and repeat.”
“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
“If there's a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
“Life is a blank book. Write about what you want to see happen and then step back – and experience what you’ve written.”
