If you're the 'brilliant writer' in the room, you're in the wrong writers' room.

The best writers I've read possess oodles of self-doubt, yet claw their way up with each work and remain humble. Boastful ones, not so much.

Writers are creatures of habit, as are humans, but writers aren’t necessarily human, are they?

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

Many people hear voices when no one is there. Some of them are called mad and are shut up in rooms where they stare at the walls all day. Others are called writers and they do pretty much the same thing.

If words come alive on the page, the writer succeeds in connecting to the reader.
