“What's hard, in hacking as in fiction, is not writing, it's deciding what to write.”
“Writing is hard work, not magic. It begins with deciding why you are writing and whom you are writing for. What is your intent? What do you want the reader to get out of it? What do you want to get out of it. It's also about making a serious time commitment and getting the project done.”
“I write what I feel, fiction with a twist of truth. I don't write because I want to, I write because I have to.”
“It's not the writing part that's hard. What's hard is sitting down to write.What keeps us from sitting down is Resistance.”
“There's a difference between writing for a living and writing forlife. If you write for a living, you make enormous compromises....If you write for life, you'll work hard; you'll do what's honest,not what pays”
“Write hard and clear about what hurts.”
