Blockhead

"No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money."

From the money I make from writing, it's a wonder I can lift my head.

Roaches

Writing errors are like roaches. If you find one, you can be sure hundreds more lie hidden in your manuscript.

Actions of Men

"I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts."
                    - John Locke

I have always thought the desires of most men the limit of their action; they sit and they want. For those who keep standing, their desires become their achievements.

True When You Start

"Writers are not just people who sit down and write. They hazard themselves. Every time you compose a book your composition of yourself is at stake."

    - E.L. Doctorow

There's no doubt about it: Writing changes everyone, especially the writer.

Newlove

"Remember: Writing can get you fed to a lion whose teeth draw your whole face into its foul wet breath and cut your skull with knives. There's no soft way to put this. A black hole swallows you up. Willpower's no help. Getting in print is like beating cancer but losing a lung, staying in print is hopeless. Your best work goes begging.....Today's paragraph comes, a word from the heart of the universe, and shines in the darkness, unquenched. And you ask for power, wisdom, and love as you make the anvil sing."

     - Donald Newlove

Whew! What ever happened to the old love?
