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

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.

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

Writing a story, regardless of length, begins always with a single word.

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

A migraine is the cockblock of writing.

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.
