You have to write to write.

It has to be bad at some point in order to make it better.

At a point, writing exercises become a way to avoid writing.

A piece of paper in hand makes pausing in a doorway more realistic.

Not all of writing is writing. In fact, it's even less than that.

Creating a totally new world is not a form of avoiding the world I live in but rather understanding it better than I did before.

Hope is hoping my jeans prove inspirational.

Sometimes you have to come up from under the plot to breathe.

Well... what else is it that I want to do?

Finishing is always a goal, even when finished.

It doesn't have to be done at any particular point, but it will likely be done at many points.

When it makes the most sense to quit, keep going.
