The Name We Give To Something Shapes

Once A Book Is Published, It No Longer Belongs To Me. My Creative Task Is Done. The Work Now Belongs To The Creative Mind Of My Readers. I Had My Turn To Make Of It What I Would, Now It Is Their Turn.

A Great Novel Is A Kind Of Conversion Experience. We Come Away From It Changed.

...one Reason I Became A Writer Was That I Figured Out That If You Call Yourself A Writer, You Can Read All You Want And People Think That You Are Working.

I Realize, Of Course, That I Wasn't Born Knowing How To Read. I Just Can't Imagine A Time When I Didn't Know How.

Sometimes You Need To Give People Something That's For Them, Not Just Something That Makes You Feel Good Giving It.
