“The point of freewriting is to get past the voice inside your head that tells you your ideas aren't good enough, your words aren't good enough, you're no writer and so forth.”

“If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.”

“Well, let's face it, you're not stupid. You knew there were a lot of things wrong in the relationship, you just chose to ignore them because there were so many good things you didn't want to give up. Now, you're at the point in your life where you're strong enough to give up the good stuff. You're strong enough to expect more from your life. I'm proud of you for that. Most women aren't that strong. They're so terrified of being alone that they stay with the wrong guy, rather than risk loneliness waiting for the right guy.”

“If the voices in your head make you cry, you're a lunatic. Put their words on paper, and you're a writer.”

“You tell me your fantasies, and I will make everything we do so good for you, you won’t be able to get enough”

“Some days being a writer consists of telling yourself you aren't insane, your characters are.”
