"If the desire to write is not accompanied by actual writing, then the desire must be not to write."
"The thing I did right was I was incredibly persistent. I never gave up; I never didn't believe. My attitude was, I don't care what it takes, this is what I want."
"Jane [helped me to learn to] shrug off snide reviews—from journalists ro readers. Doing so enables me not to waste writing time fretting over the opinions of others."
"Whatever it is you do, my advice is simple: Don't let anyone tell you no."
"Know what you're trying to make; know it; practice it. Just write, and write seriously, and don't worry about genre too much. Create something brand new."
"Write. And read. Read and write daily and listen to your gut. Trust yourself and take yourself seriously. Close out distractions. Choose your own influences."
