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.
A day of bad writing is always better than a day of no writing.
Nothing says work efficiency like panic mode.
Nothing's a better cure for writer's block than to eat ice cream right out of the carton.
Always mystify, torture, mislead, and surprise the audience as much as possible.
The recipe for great art has always been misery and a good bowel movement.
