“Write until your fingers break. It may be the cure for everything.”
“Not everything is about beating your head against the wall until it breaks.”“Just most things.”
“Dedication. DEDICATION. That is the only way to become a writer. Write every day. Write until your fingers bleed, your eyes bleed, your soul bleeds. From that blood, stories are born. It's worth it.”
“If you don’t write the book you have to write, everything breaks.”
“When your dawn theater sounds to clear your sinuses: don't delay. Jump. Those voices may be gone before you hit the shower to align your wits.Speed is everything. The 90-mph dash to your machine is a sure cure for life rampant and death most real.Make haste to live.Oh, God, yes.Live. And write. With great haste.”
“Writing is not just the technical act of your fingers on the keyboard. Writing is living.”
