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

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

A migraine is the cockblock of writing.

Any conversation including the mention of Roald Dahl, Ray Bradbury, or Emily Dickinson is one worth getting into or at least eavesdropping.

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.

Regarding the creative: never assume you're the master, only the student. Your audience will determine if you're masterful.

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.
