Text Quotes
I’m dense when it comes to discouragement  (Lynn Abbey Quotes) If you write, one of the questions you’re always trying to answer is, Where do you get your ideas? And, if you write, you know how pointless a question this is and how difficult it is to answer  (Lynn Abbey Quotes) I’m one of those writers who, when writing, believes she’s god-and that she hasn’t bestowed free will on any of her characters. In that sense there are no surprises in any of my books  (Lynn Abbey Quotes) I think my prose reads as if English were my second language. By the time I get to the end of a paragraph, I’m dodging bullets and gasping for breath  (Lynn Abbey Quotes) I do have a small collection of traditional SF ideas which I’ve never been able to sell. I’m known as a fantasy writer and neither my agent nor my editors want to risk my brand by jumping genre  (Lynn Abbey Quotes) A good short-story writer has an instinct for sketching in just enough background to ground the specific story  (Lynn Abbey Quotes) It’s been a long time since I’ve written old - fashioned sword and sorcery; I’m hoping it’s like riding a bicycle  (Lynn Abbey Quotes) Once you’ve invested hundreds of hours in creating a coherent universe, your story’s grown to around a half-million words and can’t be written as anything less than a trilogy  (Lynn Abbey Quotes) Short-story writing requires an exquisite sense of balance. Novelists, frankly, can get away with more. A novel can have a dull spot or two, because the reader has made a different commitment  (Lynn Abbey Quotes) The money can be decent, but I really don’t recommend the work-for-hire route as an entry into publishing. Too many things can go wrong  (Lynn Abbey Quotes) It’s been a long time since I’ve written old-fashioned sword and sorcery; I’m hoping it’s like riding a bicycle.  (Lynn Abbey Quotes) When I’m not writing or tweaking my computer, I do embroidery. When I’m not plunging into the past, tweaking, or embroidering, I’m reading books about history, computers, or embroidery.  (Lynn Abbey Quotes) I’m one of those writers who, when writing, believes she’s god-and that she hasn’t bestowed free will on any of her characters. In that sense there are no surprises in any of my books.  (Lynn Abbey Quotes) The money can be decent, but I really don’t recommend the work-for-hire route as an entry into publishing.
