Writing, at its best, is a lonely life.

This was a big storm and he might as well enjoy it. It was ruining everything, but you might as well enjoy it

Why did they make birds so delicate and fine as those sea swallows when the ocean can be so cruel?

Write the best story that you can and write it as straight as you can.

You must be prepared to work always without applause.

The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. If you do that every day ... you will never be stuck. Always stop while you are going good and don't think about it or worry about it until you start to write the next day. That way your subconscious will work on it all the time. But if you think about it consciously or worry about it you will kill it and your brain will be tired before you start.
