The hardest part is making the time to write. Not finding the time to write, mind you. Making.

The hardest part of acting is not when I'm acting, It's when I'm not.

I cannot always write at the same time, in the same place. I work, travel and have a vigorous family life. If I'm stranded in an airport lobby - I write. If I have to wait in a doctor's office - I write. If I have a morning or evening to myself - I write.

If you tell stories you love, you will never tell them with indifference - take it to the bank.

You're more likely to finish a book you enjoy, than one that feels like literary drudgery.

Read, read, read. Read good books. You will strengthen your understanding of story. Your vocabulary will be the richer for it.
