Life gives you plenty of time to do whatever you want to do if you stay in the present moment.
If I'd learned nothing else, it was this: If you want to be a great writer, be a man. If you can't be a man, write like one.
Because you can't write habitually and well all the time, you have to be willing to write badly. That's how you get the regularity that enables you to be present for the good stuff.
You want an audience. If you didn't, you wouldn't be a writer. The biggest motivation to write is the knowledge that someone will read it.
Why are women immobile? Because so many feel like they're waiting for someone to say, 'You're good, you're pretty, I give you permission.'
I don't like to read things that people write about me. I'd rather read what kids have to say about me because it's not their profession to do that.
Don't write the book you think publishers want to commission. Plenty of other writers will be doing the same thing.
I like the idea of being a working writer, not of saying that it's going to take me 30 years to write my magnum opus.
Don't write something that is your passion project because all it will do is get the passion stomped out of you.
