“It's a great lesson about not being too precious about your writing. You have to try your hardest to be at the top of your game and improve every joke you can until the last possible second, and then you have to let it go. You can't be that kid standing at the top of the waterslide, overthinking it...You have to let people see what you wrote.”
― Tina Fey, Bossypants

“I'm writing. The pages are starting to stack up. My morale is improving the more I feel like a writer.”
― Neil Gaiman

“We're all strange inside. We learn how to disguise our differences as we grow up.”
― Annie Proulx, The Shipping News
