"If you don't feel anything for your story, no one else will."
"That was actually quite liberating. .... I could write the exact story that I wanted to write. I didn't think about how anybody would receive it."
"It's gotta be with a great sense of fun! Writing is not a serious business. It's a joy and a celebration. You should be having fun at it. Ignore the authors who say, 'oh, my god, what work.' No, to hell with that! ...If it's work, stop it, and do something else."
"I just write what I like."
"I think the most important lesson isn't necessarily to try and write a different book every time, or to try to brand yourself, [but] to write the kind of books you love to read. Because first of all, you're doing something you love. Second, you're working in your comfort zone, and third, even if this particular book doesn't work, it's going to be a lot more pleasant an experience."
"What all writers need to be reminded of from time to time: that this thing we do, this thing we've devoted our lives to, is supposed to be fun."
