Short of throwing away all television sets, I really don't know what we can do about writing.

Good stories are not written. They are rewritten.

A good book isn't written, it's rewritten.

You must want to enough. Enough to take all the rejections, enough to pay the price of disappointment and discouragement while you are learning.

There's only one good reason to be a writer-we can't help it! We'd all like to be rich, famous and successful, but if those are our goals, we're off on a wrong foot...I just wanted to earn enough money so I could work at home on my writing.

A map is not a journey.
