“The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. If you do that every day ... you will never be stuck. Always stop while you are going good and don't think about it or worry about it until you start to write the next day. That way your subconscious will work on it all the time. But if you think about it consciously or worry about it you will kill it and your brain will be tired before you start.”
“I wake up in the morning and my mind starts making sentences, and I have to get rid of them fast - talk them or write them down.”
“Oh, darling, I've been so miserable.”
More on Courage
“The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.”
“No subject is terrible if the story is true, if the prose is clean and honest, and if it affirms courage and grace under pressure.”
“You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
More on Fear
“Fear is the cheapest room in the house.”
“There is no such thing as paranoia. Your worst fears can come true at any moment.”
“Each of us must work to become a hardheaded realist, or else we risk wasting our time and energy on pursuing impossible dreams. Yet constant naysayers pursue no less impossible dreams. Their fear and cynicism move nothing forward. They kill progress. How many cynics built empires, great cities, or powerful corporations?”
