Don't think about the writing process too much. Just do one thing: tell the motherfucking story.

When writing, I uncage KAT: Keep Adding Tension. Even if I don't know where the story's going, petting the KAT keeps it purring.

You're never as good a writer as you think you are, and you're never as bad. Just keep reading and writing, writing, writing.

Writing is dreaming with your eyes open — and your heart on fire.

I've found the best way to revise your own work is to pretend that somebody else wrote it and then to rip the living shit out of it.

Always mystify, torture, mislead, and surprise the audience as much as possible.
