“My best advice to writers is get yourself born in an interesting place.”

“Best advice to writers - Read, write, read, write - repeat!”

“My best advice is to be yourself. Unless you’re psychotic, then you might want to try a different tactic.”

“Let the writer take up surgery or bricklaying if he is interested in technique. There is no mechanical way to get the writing done, no shortcut. The young writer would be a fool to follow a theory. Teach yourself by your own mistakes; people learn only by error. The good artist believes that nobody is good enough to give him advice. He has supreme vanity. No matter how much he admires the old writer, he wants to beat him.”

“Writer advice... Write. Finish things. Go for walks. Read a lot & outside your comfort zone. Stay interested. Daydream. Write.”

“But I also realize that winning doesn't always mean getting first place; it means getting the best out of yourself.”
