"Writing is winning. Always. It's not the only win condition: but it's always the first step."
"Writers must produce. And produce. And produce. ABW: 'Always Be Writing.' ... One book a year? Psssh. No. Focus only on novels? Not likely. Writers are no longer as free to work in a single sphere of writerly existence. Get used to writing short, long, script, game, non-fiction, etc."
"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."
"Writing advice is valuable. ...You don't have to listen to any or all of it, but you damn sure should be considering it. If you're not thinking and learning about this craft of yours, then quit now."
"I started writing, and I kept on writing. Although that may sound obvious, it's true. People are always telling me that they would like to become a writer, but they don't actually write anything. You have to write and continue to write."
"Use that time for writing your novel and for reading great books. That will make your chances of getting published much stronger than any Facebook post ever will."
