Novels are not about expressing yourself, they’re about something beautiful, funny, clever and organic. Self-expression? Go and ring a bell in the yard if you want to express yourself. Zadie Smith
When it comes down to it, the reason that science fiction endures is that it is, at its core, an optimistic genre. What is says at the end of the day is that there is a tomorrow, we do go on, we don’t extinguish ourselves and leave the planet for the cockroaches. J. Michael Straczynski
Science fiction, outside of poetry, is the only literary field which has no limits, no parameters whatsoever. Theodore Sturgeon
Write what you like, then imbue it with life and make it unique by blending in your own personal knowledge of life, friendships, relationships, sex and work. Stephen King
Write in any way that works for you. Write in a tuxedo or in the shower with a raincoat or in a cave deep in the woods. John Gardner
