"Keep faith, trust to love, fight with honor, but fight to win."
"Don't let the worst people you know dictate your behavior."
"Your writing is still yours, no matter what the contract or your editor might say. Trust your gut. It knows when you're screwing up. Your brain will lie to you. It loves the paycheck, it loves positive feedback. Your gut is under no obligation to make you feel good."
"There are writers who will do whatever they are told regardless of the circumstances - these are called 'hacks.' Your job isn't to make life difficult for your editor. But once a piece of crap goes out with your name on it, it is gone forever and will haunt you."
"I get very invested in characters, it's the only way I find that I can write a book and really make it work."
