"The reason 99% of all stories written are not bought by editors is very simple. Editors never buy manuscripts that are left on the closet shelf at home."

John Campbell


"Finishing a book is just like you took a child out in the back yard and shot it."

Truman Capote


"I believe more in the scissors than I do in the pencil."

Truman Capote


"Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any."

Orson Scott Card
