C.K. Webb quotes:

Edit your manuscript until your fingers bleed and you have memorized every last word. Then, when you are certain you are on the verge of insanityedit one more time!

We never end up with the book we began writing. Characters twist it and turn it until they get the life that is perfect for them. A good writer won't waste their time arguing with the characters they createIt is almost always a waste of time and people tend to stare when you do!

Most people carry their demons around with them, buried down deep inside. Writers wrestle their demons to the surface, fling them onto the page, then call them characters.
