“In many cases when a reader puts a story aside because it 'got boring,' the boredom arose because the writer grew enchanted with his powers of description and lost sight of his priority, which is to keep the ball rolling.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“The most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in, shockproof, shit detector.”
― Hemingway, Ernest

“A good writer possesses not only his own spirit but also the spirit of his friends.”
