“Don't say it is too hard or you can't find the words and please don't tell me there isn't enough time in the day. Writers start each day with a pen in their hand and do not make excuses. To be a writer is to do what is too hard, to find the words when others could not and make time no matter what. The proof is in the book you hold, the words you read and the stories that live on forever.”
“If you don't want to be in a story, don't know a writer.”
“I don't know when I stopped mattering to him, and I don't know how to undo it. I want it to be like it used to, when all he needed was me.”
“You just don't know writers. They'll use anything, anybody. They'll eat their young.”
“When you don't know where you're headed, you find places no one else would ever think to explore.”
