Writing:

"I try to create sympathy for my characters, then turn the monsters loose." ~ Stephen King

"Any man who keeps working is not a failure. He may not be a great writer, but if he applies the old-fashioned virtues of hard, constant labor, he’ll eventually make some kind of career for himself as writer." ~Ray Bradbury

"My own experience is that once a story has been written, one has to cross out the beginning and the end. It is there that we authors do most of our lying." ~Anton Chekhov

"I have been successful probably because I have always realized that I knew nothing about writing and have merely tried to tell an interesting story entertainingly." ~Edgar Rice Burroughs

"Writers are always selling somebody out." ~Joan Didion

"Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don’t see any." ~Orson Scott Card
