“I go on writing so that I will always have something to read.”
“Have you really read all those books in your room?”Alaska laughing- “Oh God no. I’ve maybe read a third of ‘em. But I’m going to read them all. I call it my Life’s Library. Every summer since I was little, I’ve gone to garage sales and bought all the books that looked interesting. So I always have something to read.”
“I always tell myself, 'you can write anything, but first you have to write something'.”
“If you like not my writing, go read something else.”
“Before I published any of my own stories, I read a great many stories by people as passionate about writing as I was, and I learned something from everyone I read -- something most important what I should not try to write.”
“So long as I have questions to which there are no answers, I shall go on writing.”
