“Writing is really just a matter of writing a lot, writing consistently and having faith that you'll continue to get better and better. Sometimes, people think that if they don't display great talent and have some success right away, they won't succeed. But writing is about struggling through and learning and finding out what it is about writing itself that you really love.”
“If you really have talent, you know, you'll go on writing - whatever people say to you.”
“The hardest part of writing a story is making bad things happen to good people. The hardest part of writing horror is knowing that it won't really get better for them.”
“Fantasy is totally wide open; all you really have to do is follow the rules you've set. But if you're writing about science, you have to first learn what you're writing about.”
“You don't write for success. That takes part of your attention away from the writing. If you're really doing it, that's all you're doing: writing.”
“I really want to be a writer but I don't know what to write about""You could write about us”
