Always mystify, torture, mislead, and surprise the audience as much as possible.

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

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

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.

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

Always mystify, torture, mislead, and surprise the audience as much as possible.

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