Love is something that hangs up behind the bathroom door and smells of Lysol.

You know I don't love any one but you. You shouldn't mind because some one else loved me.

When I am working on a book or a story I write every morning as soon after first light as possible. There is no one to disturb you and is it is cool and you come to your work and warm as you write. You read what you have written and, as you always stop when you know what is going to happen next, you go on from there. You write until you come to a place where you still have your juice and know what will happen next and you stop and try to live through until the next day when you hit again.

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 when you are writing a novel you will never be stuck. That is the most valuable thing I can tell you so try to remember it.

Do not think about sin, he thought. There are enough problems now without sin. Also I have no understanding of it.

I think you should learn about writing from everybody who has ever written that has anything to teach you

We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.
