read outside of your comfort zone

"If you like fantasy and you want to be the next Tolkien, don't read big Tolkienesque fantasies—Tolkien didn't read big Tolkienesque fantasies, he read books on Finnish philology.  Go and read outside of your comfort zone, go and learn stuff."

the fun of writing and reading never goes away

"The creation of a book is such a private and solitary process, and in so many ways is simply irretrievable—a writer can so very rarely specify exactly what was going on for him or her when s/he was writing a particular passage or scene. This is part of why the fun of writing and reading never goes away, because you can just never get to the bottom of it."

Writing grows out of reading

"Writing grows out of reading, and has always grown out of reading."

Write with energy

"Write with energy.  I think energy is one of those things we don't talk about enough, and it's so important for the reader.  You can feel a writer's energy on the page."
