“A book is just as magical to write as it is to read, it takes you on a journey that changes you in the end.”

“Creating life with words is my favorite magic to weave.”

“If you want to be a writer-stop talking about it and sit down and write!”

“You can write nothing of value unless you give yourself wholly to the the theme -- and when you so give yourself -- you lose appetite ans sleep -- it cannot be helped --”

“If you're a writer, the answer to everything is yes.”
