“If your writing doesn't keep you up at night, it won't keep anyone else up either”
― James M. Cain

“Writers remember everything...especially the hurts. Strip a writer to the buff, point to the scars, and he'll tell you the story of each small one. From the big ones you get novels. A little talent is a nice thing to have if you want to be a writer, but the only real requirement is the ability to remember the story of every scar.
Art consists of the persistence of memory.”
― Stephen King, Misery

“An opening line should invite the reader to begin the story. It should say: Listen. Come in here. You want to know about this.”
― Stephen King

“Because you may not love the candy-man, but you do love the candy.”
― Stephen King, The Drawing of the Three
