Quotes by Walter B. Gibson (?)

“Easy," came a whisper. "Watch the wheel. I'm all right.”

“By living, thinking, even dreaming the story in one continuous process, ideas came faster and faster. Sometimes the typewriter keys would fly so fast that I wondered if my fingers could keep up with them. And at the finish of the story I often had to take a few days off as my fingertips were too sore to begin work on the next book.”
― Walter B Gibson
