“There are books full of great writing that don't have very good stories. Read sometimes for the story... don't be like the book-snobs who won't do that. Read sometimes for the words--the language. Don't be like the play-it-safers who won't do that. But when you find a book that has both a good story and good words, treasure that book.”
― Stephen King

“If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”

“Stories have to be told or they die, and when they die, we can't remember who we are or why we're here.”
