Michael J. Kannengieser quotes:

Discover everything about your characters that you can before you write your story. If you get stuck at any point, they will write your dialog for you.

An unedited manuscript is a first draft of story; but is not a finished product. Too many writers study the craft of writing but do not acquire the skills of an editor.

Writing is a craft, being an author is work, and having readers and a following is a gift.

Without imagination, writing is a stack of lumber, a sack of nails, and a locked tool shed.
