Write because you love it and not because it is something that you think you should do. Always write about something or somebody you know about - something that you feel deeply and passionately about. Never try and force it.

I don't believe in writer's block or waiting for inspiration. If you're a writer, you sit down and write.

I write as a way of keeping myself going. You build your life around writing, and it's what gets you through. So it's partly just curiosity to see what you can do.

I try to think of it not as writer's block, but a time where you just need to live life and experience things so you have something to write about.

Writing is an extremely rewarding and humbling process, and I've learned to go with it, that even if it feels absolutely impossible, I will find a way to tell the next story.

If you want to be a writer, just write. There's no magic to it.

Writing is sweat and drudgery most of the time. And you have to love it in order to endure the solitude and the discipline.

When I write, I try to capture one of those pivotal moments. If I succeed, I have shifted the reader's view of the world, just a little. The character is not the only one to experience change. That is my job, shifting perceptions, one story at a time. The trouble is, I don't like writing. But I love having written.
