"I like that the writer is a worker. It means craftsmen, the producers, the truly capable, will survive. Do work. Live to fight another day."
"That critical fan base comes as you write more ebooks, continually learn and offer something new with each book. Deeper emotion, more twists, a new high concept or more raw gut appeal."
"I would have bet twenty to one against my own success, but by continuing I could lose only pen and paper; and if the one chance in twenty did turn up in my favor, then how much might I win!"
"An abandoned story at page one or page 356 has the same value as a story you never wrote in the first place."
"Your primary goal is to write a fucking whopper of a book. The lion's share of your efforts should go into that which makes you a writer: your writing."
"If you do care about having a go at this writing thing as a proper career, do not write for exposure. Exposure cannot be measured, and you might as well write for any number of invisible things: the dreams of sleeping kittens, perhaps, or mystical unicorn turds. You should always be getting something measurable for your writing."
