The biggest takeaway for anyone seeking to write is this: don't go looking for the way other authors do their work. You won't find many who are consistent enough to copy, and there are enough variations in approach that it's obvious that it's not like hitting home runs or swinging a golf club. There isn't a standard approach, there's only what works for you (and what doesn't).

I think "creativity" is better described as failing repeatedly until you get something right.

It's much easier to spend a lot of time making your microphone louder than it is working on making your message more compelling.

The problem with words is that they easily lose their meaning. Say something often enough and it becomes a tic, not an expression of how you actually feel. Not only that, but words rarely change things. Actions do.

The only thing worse than starting something and failing... is not starting something.

No is the foundation that we can build our yes on.

Don’t do it because it’s your job, do it because you can.
