If there weren’t so many interesting conversations taking place inside my head, I might venture to speak out loud.

What I've learned about writing is that sometimes less is more, while often more is grander. And both are true.

Every exceptional writer holds a Master of Arts in Daydreaming.

A writer writes knowing that nothing else will elicit the same kind of satisfaction and personal triumph as molding the written word into a reader's great experience.

For the real writers, every decision is either write or wrong.

It's a phenomenal experience jumping from the devious mind of a sorceress bent on conquering the world to the compassionate musing of a queen capable of healing life with a touch—all in a flicker of thought. That's why I love writing.

By small and simple sentences, great books come to pass.

Write the ending first and then you'll know before the opening sentence that it's going to be a good book.

Write at a pace that doesn't surpass your creative flow. Don't be hasty; don't be sloppy. Don't forfeit impressive writing for an impressive word count. Because eventually it will all have to be edited, and you'll find that it is harder to make bad writing good than to make good writing better.
