Since I can barely write two books a year the best solution seems to be co-author projects. My goal isn't to get another writer to clone me. It's more to produce a book that shares my vision of positive, fun entertainment (Writer Quotes)
The great advantage of being a writer is that you can spy on people. You're there, listening to every word, but part of you is observing. Everything is useful to a writer, you see - every scrap, even the longest and most boring of luncheon parties (Writer Quotes)
The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life and one is as good as the other (Writer Quotes)
