My mom wasn’t, like, she was reading all these historical romance novels the majority of the time. She read a feminist book and then my dad would sit down and explain it to her like she was an idiot Picture Quote #1

Whatever a writer gets paid for his book, it’s never enough. I think that’s true. It’s hard work. But in the end, you wrote a book. It’s something real and tangible that sits on a shelf forever Picture Quote #1

Me and a book is a party. Me and a book and a cup of coffee is an orgy Picture Quote #1

The images from the book you make in your head are always going to be the best images Picture Quote #1

Writing a book makes you an expert in the field. At the very least, when you hand someone a book you wrote, it’s more impressive than handing a business card Picture Quote #1

When I finish a book, I get extremely restless; I have to aggressively find ways to occupy myself; going off into the woods alone, doing things that are physically or mentally demanding to keep myself busy until the next big idea comes Picture Quote #1

Even tiny children looking at a picture book are using their imaginations, gleaning clues from the images to understand what is happening, and perhaps using the throwaway details which the illustrator includes to add their own elements to the story Picture Quote #1

I still have a steady stream of book cover work. I’m grateful for it. Viva le book! Picture Quote #1

Ever since I was twelve, I dreamed of being an author. I just never had the fortitude to see any of my stories through to completion. I would start a book, get a few chapters in, and grow bored or get distracted by something else Picture Quote #1

I had a love affair with books, with characters and their words. Books kept me company. When the voices of the book faded, as with the last long chord of a record, the back cover crinkling closed, I could swear I heard a door click shut Picture Quote #1

I write for the love of writing. If I never published another book, I would still be writing stories Picture Quote #1
