Never put off writing until you are better at it.

I'd love to write some porn, but I don't know if I have the right engines. When I was a young man and I was tempted to write porn, imaginary parents would appear over my shoulder and read what I was writing; just about the point that I managed to banish the imaginary parents, real children would lean over my shoulder and read what I was writing.

A good book isn't written, it's rewritten.

Throw up into your typewriter every morning. Clean up every noon.

Write without pay until somebody offers to pay.

You can fix anything but a blank page.
