If one can, anyone can.
If two can, you can, too!

A writer fails, not when a reader is not moved; but when, as a reader, the writer is not moved.

In order to write the book you want to write, in the end you have to become the person you need to become to write that book.

I had once tried to write, had once reveled in feeling, had let m crude imagination roam, but the impulse to dream had been slowly beaten out of me by experience. Now it surged up again and i hungered for books, new ways of looking and seeing. It was not a matter of believing or disbelieving what I read, but of feeling something new, of being affected by something that made the look of the world different.

Even great, best selling writers produce works that fall flat from expectations. This writing thing isn't easy and everything you produce won't be a best seller, but you must write anyway. You have to write because you love it, because it fuels you, because you can feel the stories living inside you, nudging you, prodding you, itching to get out and the only thing worse than writing it and failing is not writing it. As the late Maya Angelou once said, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."

Even if your work doesn't resonate with others, it is still worth writing. And that in itself, is what's important.

Forgive my asking you to use your mind. It is a thing which no novelist should expect of his reader...
