“If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that."
“Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.”
“The scariest moment is always just before you start.”
“Description begins in the writer’s imagination, but should finish in the reader’s.”
“A little talent is a good thing to have if you want to be a writer. But the only real requirement is the ability to remember every scar.”
“Write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open.”
“Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. In the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. It's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Getting happy."
