These are some of my best-loved quotes~
"Read a thousand books, and your words will flow like a river."
― Lisa See
"You don't start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it's good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it.
That's why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence."
― Octavia E. Butler
"Every secret of a writer's soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind, is written large in his works."
- Virginia Woolf
"When your story is ready for rewrite, cut it to the bone. Get rid of every ounce of excess fat. This is going to hurt; revising a story down to the bare essentials is always a little like murdering children, but it must be done."
- Stephen King
