After a storm comes a calm.
I can, therefore I am.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Well done is better than well said.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Never complain and never explain.
You never know what motivates you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The romantic idea is that everybody around a writer must suffer for his talent. I think a writer is a citizen of humanity, part of his nation, part of his family. He may have to make some compromises.
