Quotations and aphorisms by :

Writing, for all that it’s harder than nursing ever was, is also more joyous and more fun and a lot less dangerous. And the major themes of my life have become the major themes of my writing, too - so it has all worked out pretty well.

Writing is a puzzle you’ll spend your lifetime unlocking. You will never know it all; you will never know enough. You can always be better, and figuring out how to be better is part of the thrill and joy of the job.

I started writing with intent to publish on January 1st, 1985, when, as my New Year’s resolution, I resolved to finish a book before I turned 25. It’s one of only a few New Year’s resolutions I remember keeping - I finished that one with a couple weeks to spare.

Don’t talk about writing. Write. Don’t show unfinished work to anyone. Don’t show finished work to non-writers. Get your opinions, not from friends and family, but by sending your work out to editors. An endless stream of rejection slips means you need to learn more. So learn more.
