The things worth writing about, and the things worth reading about, are the things that feel almost beyond description at the start and are, because of that, frightening.

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.

If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading or do things worth writing.

Whether my columns are worth reading isn't for me to say.

I never know what I am writing. The moment you know what you're writing, you're writing nothing worth reading.

Description is what makes the reader a sensory participant in the story. Good description is a learned skill,one of the prime reasons you cannot succeed unless you read a lot and write a lot. It's not just a question of how-to, you see; it's a question of how much to. Reading will help you answer how much, and only reams of writing will help you with the how. You can learn only by doing.
