"The world needs new writers. It is crying for them. What makes a writer is writing. Get the work done. Write, save all you write, go back to fragments, rework them again if you feel inclined or write something new. If you stop, don't get discouraged. Just start again. Write through writer's block. Be protective of your originality. Don't... See More leap to change what you write because somebody doesn't like it. Critics are a dime a dozen. Writers are priceless.


It takes nerve to be a writer, but the writer's life is well worth it. Give us the classics of tomorrow. If you don't, who will?" Anne Rice
