Writing is magic, as much the water of life as any other cre... - Stephen King

"Fault always lies in the same place: with him weak enough to lay blame."

"The mind can calculate, but the spirit yearns, and the heart knows what the heart knows"

"If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that."

"If you wrote something for which someone sent you a check, if you cashed the check and it didn't bounce, and if you then paid the light bill with the money, I consider you talented."

"Outlines are the last resource of bad fiction writers who wish to God they were writing masters' theses."
