The best advice is not to write what you know, it's to write what you like. Write the kind of story you like best - write the story you want to read. The same principle applies to your life and your career.

Amateurs know that contributing something is better than contributing nothing.

Unless you are actually a ninja, a guru, or a rock star, don't ever use any of those terms in your bio. Ever.

In the end, creativity isn’t just the things we choose to put in, it’s the things we choose to leave out.

If I'd waited to know who I was or what I was about before I started "being creative," well, I'd still be sitting around trying to figure myself out instead of making things. In my experience, it's in the act of making things and doing our work that we figure out who we are.

When people give advice, they're really just talking to themselves in the past.

Google everything. I mean everything. Google your dreams, Google your problems. Don’t ask a question before you Google it. You’ll either find the answer or you’ll come up with a better question.
