“Rings try to find their way back to their owner. Someone ought to write a book about it.”

“You have made some notes, read some writing books, and done some research. Mostly what you've done is talk about writing a book. An idea for a book is not a book; it is a waste of time. There is no singular thing that makes someone a writer, but there is one thing that makes someone a joke--talking about writing a book without doing any work.”
“whatever I was writing, I was always trying to write my way back to you.”
“You could write a book about things that you can't find on-line.”
“Find what causes a commotion in your heart. Find a way to write about that”
