That Which Makes You a Writer
"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."
Good Story
"The only side you should fight on is the side of your audience. With weapons forged from the steel of Good Story."
Audience Should Never Know
"The audience should never know that—or, rather, should never feel that you're talking to them. They want to feel like they're witnessing something, that they're looking in a forbidden window. The audience doesn't want to feel told. Or lectured to."
The Best Ending
"A story has many threads: character arcs, themes, ideas, plots, and so forth. A good ending ties up most of these. The best ending ties them all up."
End of Story
"Writing something means finishing something. End of story. I mean, literally. End of story."
