This is writing. You cut out chunks of your own memories, rework them, bleed into them, breathe into the raw clay, and hope the creature lives.

Anything designed to be inoffensive isn't worth your time -- life itself is pretty offensive, ending as it does with death.

Actions have consequences... first rule of life. And the second rule is this - you are the only one responsible for your own actions.

Adventures are only interesting once you've lived to see the end of them. Before that, they are nothing but fear, and being too cold or too hot or too wet or too hungry, and getting hurt.

The definition of a writing career, is write a book, write another book, write another book

A voice speaks to each of us in the still silent places - a voice that tells us to stand, to have courage, to do what is right.

If you have dreams you want to pursue, the time is now. There is no perfect time, and there is no better time. There is only the time you lose while you're making excuses.
