Don’t be afraid to write badly, everyone does. Invest yourself in the lifestyle … NOT in the particular piece of work. Frank Conroy
First rule [of writing]: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college. Kurt Vonnegut
To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it’s about, but the inner music that words make. Truman Capote
Many still believe [SF and Fantasy] is all about the rockets and ray guns and space squids, but Real Literature is about Real Profound Things. Ann Leckie
Conjure the nouns, alert the secret self, taste the darkness … speak softly, and write any old word that wants to jump out of your nerves onto the page. Ray Bradbury
