To read a writer is for me not merely to get an idea of what he says, but to go off with him and travel in his company.

Where do storytellers find the wisdom to discover their own stories? From no place more mysterious than their own hearts.

No one can tell you what you can and cannot put in your book. So be brave and just write!

Writing became such a process of discovery that I couldn’t wait to get to work in the morning: I wanted to know what I was going to say. ~Sharon O’Brien
