When I write comedy, I surprise myself and laugh and laugh. It's a joy of the profession to benefit from your own labour in this way. When I create a layered character and bond with them, it's wonderfully surreal. Sometimes I don't even like that piece of my subconscious I've broken off, but I grow towards them. There are some ludicrous scenarios too that create euphoric surrealism. Stories can wrap you up like quantum spaghetti and you ask, how did I get here?

Grow a tough skin, because everyone wants to write but folk are jealous, busy, skint, wanting something for nothing. Being overlooked stings. Write and re-write: re-writing is 80% of all writing. Inspire your readers. Come up with a good answer to this question through experience.(less)

“Not that he wanted to say that. It would make it sound as if he wanted to blame her..
Women were very complicated creatures. He suddenly realised he was running through his head a list of everything he considered preferable to women. It was a long and most impressive imaginary document.”
Peter David, Stone and Anvil

“A moment later the scowling face of Admiral Jellico appeared on the screen. He looked as ill-humored as ever. Privately, Calhoun felt that somebody should send an away team into Jellico's ass, to determine just what had crawled up there and died years ago.”
Peter David, Stone and Anvil

“To explore strange new worlds ... and assimilate them.
To seek out new life forms ... and new civilizations ... and assimilate them.
To boldly go where no Borg has gone before ... and assimilate them.”

“Faith is an admirable trait. It's good to have faith in another person. But when faith is used as a substitute for reality, then it becomes a crutch for refusing to deal with that reality.”
