"Writing may or may not be your salvation; it might or might not be your destiny. But that does not matter. What matters right now are the words, one after another. Find the next word. Write it down."
"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."
"This is how you do it: you sit down at the keyboard and you put one word after another until its done. It's that easy, and that hard."
"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes...you're Doing Something."
"People think dreams aren't real just because they aren't made of matter, of particles. Dreams are real. But they are made of viewpoints, of images, of memories and puns and lost hopes."
"Tomorrow may be hell, but today was a good writing day, and on the good writing days nothing else matters."
