I wish my brain had an off switch. Maybe that way I could get some sleep.

I know it's difficult in the beginning. But, listen. If you have the impulse to write, do yourself a favor, do the world a favor, and write.

Live inside your stories, yes, but do not hide behind them.

I've never been high. Writing is my drug of choice. You don't ever have to come down from that kind of high, I tell ya. And, best part is, it's free.

Your writing should be filled with simple complexities and complex simplicities. Because that is life.

You know you are a writer when characters inside your brain keep demanding, 'This is my story! Now tell it or I will never leave you alone!

Don't fool yourself. Talking about writing is not the same as actually doing it.

Souls are more important than stories, yes. But stories are a window to the soul. Without stories, the soul suffocates.

Each night, I close my eyes and dream. In the morning, I open my eyes again, but the dreaming doesn't stop.
