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

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

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

When you're writing what you love, it's the most fun you can have with your clothing still on, unless of course, you write naked.

A writer always writes.

The recipe for great art has always been misery and a good bowel movement.

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.
