There are so many stories to be told, by so many good writers.

There are probably many, many people who are better writers than me.

I enjoy being influenced by other writers.

I love writers. All of my best friends are writers.

At the most basic level, I appreciate writers who have something to say.

I've always liked new writing.

Writers are so important.

I adore the company of other writers because they are so often lively minds and, frequently, blazingly funny. And of course, we get each other in a unique way.

There's only one common element that united every writer I've admired... they're all incredibly well-read.

One thing that writers have in common is that they are readers first. They have read lots and lots of stuff, because they're just infested with lots of stuff.
