Nobody cooks using just one ingredient. Why would you write using just one flavor of story? Picture Quote #1

No story ever looks as bad as the story you’ve just bought; no story ever looks as good as the story the other fellow just bought Picture Quote #1

I didn’t become a good writer until I learned how to rewrite. And I don’t just mean fixing spelling and adding a comma. I rewrite each of my books five or six times, and each time I change huge portions of the story Picture Quote #1

It never gets any easier. But I will get stronger. Because my story is far from over Picture Quote #1

There are mythic patterns under all of our lives. Each one of us, often unbeknownst to ourselves, is engaged in a drama of soul that is not reserved only for gods, heroes, and saints. Story is one bridge between the human realm and the divine Picture Quote #1
