"The same thing that gets readers through reading your book should be the same thing that gets the author... through writing the damn thing. The reader must have sustained excitement. And so too must the writer."

Write What You Need to Write
"Write what you want to write. Write what you need to write. Write what engages you, what interests you, what gets your blood pumping and your jaw tight. Because what else are you going to do? Platy it safe? Write what everybody else is writing just because everybody else is writing it? What's the point? Why bring nothing new to the table? Why fail to bring yourself and your passions to the page?"
We Want Answers
"The author writes to explain his world and the reader reads for the same purpose. We don't want to see our stories reflected back because we're like preening peacocks: we want answers. We want truth that relates to us, that speaks directly to who we are and what we want and all the things that block us from our path."
love of your work
"Let the love of your work be your primary reward."
