It's better to die in pursuit of your dreams than to live a life without hope.

I would also argue that there is a good chance that an outline will help you stave off any onslaught of writer's block. Let me advise you right up front that I am not a big believer in writer's block. I think writer's block is God's way of telling you one of two things - that you failed to think your material through sufficiently before you started writing, or that you need a day or two off with your family and friends.

It's better to die in pursuit of your dreams than to live a life without hope.

I have learned to do more with less, so you don't see the big books anymore.

Deception is mostly a game we play with ourselves.

I might add that you change as a person as you grow older, so you change as a writer, too.

What you write chooses you.
