Dare to tell the smallest of stories if you want to generate large emotions.

One of the saddest sentences I know is "I wish I had asked my mother about that." Or my father. Or my grandmother. Or my grandfather. As every parent knows, our children are not as fascinated by our fascinating lives as we are.

You learn to write by writing.

Be grateful for every word you can cut.

Be yourself and your readers will follow you anywhere. Try to commit an act of writing and they will jump overboard to get away.
