You'll pick up so much more than you know by reading. Then, once you've read, write, you'll only learn how to put a story together by writing.

And most importantly, be kind to yourself. Set goals, big ones, small ones, ones you can accomplish daily, and don't beat yourself up if you miss one. Tomorrow is another day. You don't have to write every day, but you do have to be diligent, forgiving, and give yourself finish lines you can see to KNOW you're moving forward. Without regular goals, it can feel like you're trying to stop a boat from sinking with an 8 oz cup.(less)

Quotes by Ian Kirkpatrick  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Virginians don’t belong in Maryland for the same reason Marylanders don’t belong in Virginia. When we meet, it should be in DC where everyone is the same kind of nasty: feds.”
Ian Kirkpatrick, Bleed More, Bodymore

“Cynicism is just a way of evading the truth a little longer.”
Ian Kirkpatrick, Plead More, Bodymore

“The stains of so many years of misery make the chair look like it’s a bleeding, rotting corpse all its own. The spot that stands out the most is where his head was when he ate lead the first time. I take another hit from the cigarette, wiping at my eyes. A laugh bubbles out. I thought stains were supposed to fade with age, just like the bad stuff that happens to you, but they don’t. Fifteen years isn’t enough to make blood blend into brown carpets with every other mess?

Bullshit.”
Ian Kirkpatrick, Plead More, Bodymore

“Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.”
Oscar Wilde

“It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished.

But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the citizen will say, 'whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection,' and if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the citizen that would be the end of security whatsoever.”
John Adams, The Portable John Adams

“You know, it’s all right to be wrong, but it’s not all right not to try.”
Sanford Meisner, Sanford Meisner on Acting

“Reality poisons the spring of fantasy, whereas fantasy, when it erupts into the real world, brings destruction in its wake.”
Brian Masters, The Shrine of Jeffrey Dahmer

“Anonymous sex, he wrote, ‘only deepens one’s sense of loneliness and solves nothing.”
Brian Masters, Killing for Company: Case of Dennis Nilsen
