It sounds so obvious, but even if you don’t know where you’re going or what you’re going to do in your story, write. Sometimes you'll Find that the story finds you.

The second best piece of advice I could give is that you should read. Read as much as you can. Read different kinds of books. Learn what makes a “good” book. Live words. (less)

If I am in the middle of a novel and find myself getting "stuck", I will go and write some poetry, or a short story, or maybe even just write some notes in my journal. Sometimes the words that we are looking for are not ready to be found! Do something else, and come back later.(less)

“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.”
Anais Nin

“I suppose at one time in my life I might have had any number of stories, but now there is no other. This is the only story I will ever be able to tell.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History

“Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”
Winston S. Churchill

“It’s not easy to explain how or why I’m so in-vested in this woman. Since I first set eyes upon her, I knew that she could do better. She could be better. Sophie has so much potential, she just needs the right person to draw it out of her – and I’m certain that person is me.”
