“Anybody can write a book. But writing it well and making it sell - that's the hard part.”

“Word of mouth sells books. Want to sell more books, learn to write better!”

“I can write better than anybody who can write faster, and i can write faster than anybody who can write better.”

“Anybody can make history; only a great man can write it.”

“People who make snide comments to authors like "anyone can write a book" or "well, you did it, so obviously I can/it can't be that hard" or poke at a book because it's "romance" or "genre fiction" and act like that somehow makes it substandard because they don't read it... well, ok, go ahead. Write a bestseller. Don't forget to go through the correct edit process. We'll wait.”

“It's great being a part time writer. If you sell books you're a success. But if you don't sell any then all you have to say is " writing is just an amusing hobby".”
