"You'll know if the ending works. You'll know because you're happy with it. It's that simple."
"The writer's goal should be to get published, but the writer's love should be of writing. Too many writers are in love with the idea of writing-to-be-published and too few are in love with the act of writing."
"Writing something means finishing something. End of story. I mean, literally. End of story."
"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 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?"
"Let the love of your work be your primary reward."
