It’s hard to land a devastating jab/cross/hook/uppercut combo to your reader’s imagination when you’re telegraphing your punches.

Writers often torture themselves trying to get the words right. Sometimes you must lower your expectations and just finish it.

Write about the thing that scares you most or your most private confession and you'll never have a problem coming up with decent fiction.

Always work with/surround yourself with people who help make you a better version of you. Kindly avoid those who don't.

Love it when a compelling new character kicks open your mental door, tracks mud across your brain, and props their feet up on your cerebrum.

It's my belief that people enter your life at exactly the right time.

There is no right or wrong way to write a novel. Each journey is different for every individual work and for every writer. The first error is never to begin; the second is never to finish.
