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.

If you treat your characters like people, they'll reward you by being fully developed individuals.

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

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

Authors must spend months, years making fantasy believable in a single work while reality runs rampant and complete chaos elsewhere.

A day of bad writing is always better than a day of no writing.

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