That Loor’s a handful, she is. - Spader (Black Water) Picture Quote #1

I hate clowns. I’ve mentioned that, right? Picture Quote #1

Storytelling is storytelling. Good stories need compelling characters and interesting conflicts. That’s the bottom line no matter what medium you’re writing for Picture Quote #1

There are no simple answers in life. There is a good and bad in everyone and everything. No decision is made without consequence. No road is taken that doesn’t lead to another. What’s important is that those roads always be kept open, for there’s no telling what wonder they might lead to Picture Quote #1

And so we go.’ It’s my way of saying that I’m prepared for the next adventure. The next chapter. The next challenge. Whatever comes my way, I’m ready for it. Because that truly is the way it was meant to be Picture Quote #1

The single best piece of advice I give to aspiring writers is to always write about things that they know. I suggest that they write about people and places and events and conflicts they are familiar with. That way their writing will be real and hopefully readers will respond to it. I try to take my own advice Picture Quote #1

Even at the end of the road, read the first sentence, there is a road. Even at the end of the road, a new road stretches out, endless and open, a road that may lead anywhere. To him who will find it, there is always a road Picture Quote #1

I believe that stories find writers, writers don’t find stories. With the ‘Pendragon’ series, I actually had multiple story ideas and decided that instead of writing them individually, I would create a character whose journey would thread them all together Picture Quote #1

To write, you need to find what you love Picture Quote #1

Where is here, when is now?? Picture Quote #1

A screenplay is really a blueprint for something that will be filmed. Therefore you must always keep in mind that whatever you write is going to be staged, for real Picture Quote #1

To write a good mystery you have to know where it will end before you can decide where it will begin... and I’ve always known where it will end Picture Quote #1

You can't have pride without humility. Aggression without tolerance. Strength without compassion. Power without restraint Picture Quote #1

It is much more fun to write about villains then heroes. The villains are the ones that think out the scheme, and the heroes just kind of come along for the ride Picture Quote #1

Do you know how hard it is to gather seventy thousand people? Especially people who are confused and scared that they might be eaten by hungry dinosaurs? Picture Quote #1

At least I thought it was a wall. It sure felt like one. It was hard. It was flat. It stretched out on either side of me. You know... wall Picture Quote #1

Now it was just the three of us: the leader, the warrior, and the kid about to wet his pants. Guess who I was Picture Quote #1

Max Rose: Vo? What kind of name is that? Spader: What kind of name is Rose? Isn't that some kind of flower? Picture Quote #1

Spader and I were nearly killed. Three times. We were also robbed and witnessed a gruesome murder. Happy birthday to me! Picture Quote #1

It wasn't that I didn't trust Mark's flying, it was just that, okay, I didn't trust Mark's flying Picture Quote #1

In my few short years I learned that seeing what's positive about a situation is a lot more fun and gets you a lot further than looking for what might be wrong with it Picture Quote #1

If I weren’t already dead, I’d have to kill myself just so I could roll over in my grave Picture Quote #1

The history of each and every territory is written in the blood of those who died trying to fulfill the aspirations of their ambitious leaders Picture Quote #1

We may not have made our grand statement, but we will still have our battle. We are armed with tak and we will triumph. Your efforts have been in vain. The battle is about to begin Picture Quote #1
