If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.


--Toni Morrison




Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.


--William Faulkner
