Writing is dreaming with your eyes open — and your heart on fire.

You're never as good a writer as you think you are, and you're never as bad. Just keep reading and writing, writing, writing.

The best writers I've read possess oodles of self-doubt, yet claw their way up with each work and remain humble. Boastful ones, not so much.

Basically, writers write because they have something to say...Everyone has a story in them, writers merely decide to share it with the world...

A rain forest springs from the droppings of animals and grows greater than any cultivated garden; likewise, a great mass of literary skill springs from the droppings of writers that cross our minds through the reading we do.

Writers don't suffer from insanity, they depend upon it!
