"Because if you don't stand up for the stuff you don't like, when they come for the stuff you do like, you've already lost."
"If you only write when inspired, you may be a fairly decent poet, but you'll never be a novelist."
"Most books on witchcraft will tell you that witches work naked. This is because most books on witchcraft were written by men."
"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something."
"The main rule of writing is that if you do it with enough assurance and confidence, you’re allowed to do whatever you like. (That may be a rule for life as well as for writing. But it’s definitely true for writing.) So write your story as it needs to be written. Write it honestly, and tell it as best you can. I’m not sure that there are any other rules. Not ones that matter."
